I'm trying to retrieve the option set values (localized labels and integer Ids) for a specific field on a specific entity. Below is the code that I am using, but every time I execute it, it brings back ALL optionsets that are currently in my system (about 800+) and I don't want to do that.
EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='#MY_ENTITY#')/Attributes/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.PicklistAttributeMetadata?$select=LogicalName&$filter=LogicalName eq '#MY_ENTITY_ATTRIBUTE#'&$expand=OptionSet
maybe this can help,
/api/data/v9.1/ENTITY(guid OR Filter)?$select=ATTRIBUTE1,ATTRIBUTE2
include header:
{
"Prefer": "odata.include-annotations=OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"
}
this gives us a response like this:
{
"ATTRIBUTE1#OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue": "Person",
"ATTRIBUTE1": 1,
"ATTRIBUTE2#OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue": "Company",
"ATTRIBUTE2": 2
}
I'm using the stringmap entity to retrieve the optionsets.
This represents the optionsets as a simple table on which you can filter in the query
For example by calling:
/stringmaps?$filter=(objecttypecode eq 'contacts')
you get only the optionsets which are use in the contact entity. You can also filter on attribute name, the option value (field value) or option id (field attributevalue).

Here is I have two entity custom fields with list/record type,
custom_dev_j15 entity field has a custom source list (eg: one, two, three, four, etc)
custom_qa_v93 entity field has a standard source list as an object (eg: customer )
I've two vendor entity custom fields as stated in screenshots of question,
custentity473 --> customer is selected as list source
custentity474 --> custom_dev_j15_m_list as selected as list source ( which is custom list)
Here is snippet that i used to get the options of these fields,
// Snippet
var fieldDetails = {};
var record = nlapiCreateRecord("Vendor");
var field = record.getField("custentity473");
var selectoptions = field.getSelectOptions();
for ( var i in selectOptions) {
var Option = {
id : selectOptions[i].getId(),
label : selectOptions[i].getText()
}
Options.push(Option);
}
fieldDetail["options"] = Options;
But my need is to get source list information like name of the list source (customer or custom_dev_j15_m_list) via suitescript
any idea on how to get this information?
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure I understand this question for what you're trying to do.
In NetSuite almost always, you accommodate to the source list types because you know that's the type, and if you need something else (e.g. a selection which is a combination/or custom selection you'll use a scripted field)
Perhaps you can expand on your use case, and then we can help you further?
I have a view which outputs the following JSON:
{"total_rows":26,"offset":0,"rows":[
{"id":"SIP-13","key":[1506146852518,"SIP-13"],"value":{"clientId":"CLIENT-2","orderCount":2}},
{"id":"SIP-12","key":[1506147024308,"SIP-12"],"value":{"orderCount":1}},
{"id":"SIP-14","key":[1506159901457,"SIP-14"],"value":{"orderCount":1}},
{"id":"SIP-15","key":[1506161053712,"SIP-15"],"value":{"clientId":"CLIENT-2","orderCount":2}},
{"id":"SIP-16","key":[1506448298050,"SIP-16"],"value":{"clientId":"CLIENT-3","orderCount":1}}
]}
...and I want to get the row with id: "SIP-15" here. How can I do that?
You have to use complex keys. The first field indexed can be anything and the second must be SIP-15.
Query :
?startkey=[null,"SIP-15"]&endkey=[{},"SIP-15"]
I seem to be stuck on a classic ORM issue and don't know really how to handle it, so at this point any help is welcome.
Is there a way to get the pivot table on a hasManyThrough query? Better yet, apply some filter or sort to it. A typical example
Table products
id,title
Table categories
id,title
table products_categories
productsId, categoriesId, orderBy, main
So, in the above scenario, say you want to get all categories of product X that are (main = true) or you want to sort the the product categories by orderBy.
What happens now is a first SELECT on products to get the product data, a second SELECT on products_categories to get the categoriesId and a final SELECT on categories to get the actual categories. Ideally, filters and sort should be applied to the 2nd SELECT like
SELECT `id`,`productsId`,`categoriesId`,`orderBy`,`main` FROM `products_categories` WHERE `productsId` IN (180) WHERE main = 1 ORDER BY `orderBy` DESC
Another typical example would be wanting to order the product images based on the order the user wants them to
so you would have a products_images table
id,image,productsID,orderBy
and you would want to
SELECT from products_images WHERE productsId In (180) ORDER BY orderBy ASC
Is that even possible?
EDIT : Here is the relationship needed for an intermediate table to get what I need based on my schema.
Products.hasMany(Images,
{
as: "Images",
"foreignKey": "productsId",
"through": ProductsImagesItems,
scope: function (inst, filter) {
return {active: 1};
}
});
Thing is the scope function is giving me access to the final result and not to the intermediate table.
I am not sure to fully understand your problem(s), but for sure you need to move away from the table concept and express your problem in terms of Models and Relations.
The way I see it, you have two models Product(properties: title) and Category (properties: main).
Then, you can have relations between the two, potentially
Product belongsTo Category
Category hasMany Product
This means a product will belong to a single category, while a category may contain many products. There are other relations available
Then, using the generated REST API, you can filter GET requests to get items in function of their properties (like main in your case), or use custom GET requests (automatically generated when you add relations) to get for instance all products belonging to a specific category.
Does this helps ?
Based on what you have here I'd probably recommend using the scope option when defining the relationship. The LoopBack docs show a very similar example of the "product - category" scenario:
Product.hasMany(Category, {
as: 'categories',
scope: function(instance, filter) {
return { type: instance.type };
}
});
In the example above, instance is a category that is being matched, and each product would have a new categories property that would contain the matching Category entities for that Product. Note that this does not follow your exact data scheme, so you may need to play around with it. Also, I think your API query would have to specify that you want the categories related data loaded (those are not included by default):
/api/Products/13?filter{"include":["categories"]}
I suggest you define a custom / remote method in Product.js that does the work for you.
Product.getCategories(_productId){
// if you are taking product title as param instead of _productId,
// you will first need to find product ID
// then execute a find query on products_categories with
// 1. where filter to get only main categoris and productId = _productId
// 2. include filter to include product and category objects
// 3. orderBy filter to sort items based on orderBy column
// now you will get an array of products_categories.
// Each item / object in the array will have nested objects of Product and Category.
}
Do you know is there any like a global reference book of MS CRM entities in the system?
I need to resolve entity id to the entity type without checking every single entity for presence of given GUID.
Is it possible?
I don't know of any supported way, but I believe you could to a SQL query on the PrincipalObjectAccess table in the database and retrieve the value of ObjectTypeCode where ObjectId is the GUID.
For annotation you need to look at the field objecttypecode to determine the entity type of objectid.
You can either generate a list of entity logical names and object type codes in your code as a Dictionary object (this will give you the fastest performance but requires you know all the entity types that will be in the system at the time you compile) or (if you are on CRM 2011 UR12+ or CRM 2013) you can do a MetadataQuery.
You can read more about doing a metadata query here: http://bingsoft.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/crm-2011-metadata-query-enhancements/
Sample code for your requirement:
var objTypeCode = [INTEGER] //Make this this the annotation.objecttypecode
MetadataFilterExpression entityFilter = new MetadataFilterExpression(LogicalOperator.And);
EntityFilter.Conditions.Add(new MetadataConditionExpression("ObjectTypeCode", MetadataConditionOperator.Equals, objTypeCode);
EntityQueryExpression entityQueryExpression = new EntityQueryExpression()
{
Criteria = entityFilter
};
RetrieveMetadataChangesRequest retrieveMetadataChangesRequest = new RetrieveMetadataChangesRequest()
{
Query = entityQueryExpression,
ClientVersionStamp = null
};
RetrieveMetadataChangesResponse response = (RetrieveMetadataChangesResponse)orgService.Execute(retrieveMetadataChangesRequest);
You can reduce the metadata retrieved, for better performance, as shown here: How to get the CRM Entity Name from the Object Type Code of a RegardingID?
I'm currently working with Sharepoint 2010 and Sharepoint API on creating a document library with some existing document lists.
I have created a WinForm that loops through a given doc lists and then add them to diffrent document libraries depending on 'Type(A metadata field)' of the document. Type is determined by reading the "Metadata fields" for the specific document. Metadata fields are read by creating Hashtable of SPFields
Question
When document metadata field is read to determin the 'Type', I have realised that the Metadatafield 'Type'(Key) actually pulls out as 'Type+TaxHTField0' and value for the Key pulls out as value|GUID
So for example if my Metadata field is called Doc_x0020_Type when it returns from the API it comes out as Doc_x0020_TypeTaxHTField0 the value for this should be just 'products' but it comes out as
products|21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D
Is there a setting we can set in sharepoint to eleminate adding extra charaters and GUID to both Key and Value for metadata fields?
Below is what I've done to rectify the issue, but wondered if it's a setting we can set in sharepoint
public String GetLibrary(Hashtable itemProperties)
{
String typeMetaField = "Doc_x0020_TypeTaxHTField0";
String sKey = String.Empty;
foreach (DictionaryEntry deEntry in itemProperties)
{
sKey = deEntry.Key.ToString();
if (sKey == typeMetaField){
_type = deEntry.Value.ToString();
string[] value = _type.Split('|');
_type = value[0].Trim();
}
}
return GetDocumentLibrary(_type);
}
This is by design.
If you add a taxonomy field to your own contenttype (for instance named 'MyTaxField') SharePoint will autogenerate a hidden 'Notes' field that contains the label and the guid of the values you select in the UI.
This is quite helpful when using SPSiteDataQuery since it will return empty values for taxonomy fields that allow multiple values (works with single value taxonomy fields though).
The only way to get the taxonomy values is to have a for the hidden field named 'MyTaxFieldTaxHTField0'.
But as you have discovered, this field might not be formatted as youd like :).
I have not tested this, but did you check if your contenttype contains a field called "Doc_x0020_Type" (possible of type TaxonomyFieldValue(Collection))?
