I have an Option set in CRM 2011. It has four options:
Public
Private
Subsidiary
Other
Through plugin I want to set the value of this option set. Can anyone provide me the statement to set the value of this option set?
How to set optionsetvalue in plugins
In plugins you can write yourEntity.yourAttribute = new OptionSetValue(INDEX);
The INDEX is an int you can look up in your optionset editor (default values are several digit long).
OR
You set the optionset like yourEntity.Attributes.Add(“yourAttribute”, new OptionSetValue(INDEX));
You can set an option set value using the following:-
OptionSetValue myOptionSet = new OptionSetValue();
myOptionSet.Value = xxxx
myEntity.Attributes["optionSetAttributeName"] = myOptionSet;
// Where xxxx represents the value desired and can be checked on the attribute metadata page within the entity customisations
Whether 'myEntity' is actually preImage/postImage or just a dynamically created entity in the plug-in will determine whether you need to actually call the update method, but essentially this is the way you set the option set value and update the attribute.
I thought I'd share some code for handling option-sets in CRM here...
fieldValue = ((OptionSetValue)entity.Attributes[field]).Value.ToString();
//need to get Option Set display label based on its value. This requires getting attribute metadata
RetrieveAttributeRequest attributeRequest = new RetrieveAttributeRequest
{
EntityLogicalName = entity.LogicalName,
LogicalName = field,
RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
};
RetrieveAttributeResponse attributeResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)orgContext.Execute(attributeRequest);
EnumAttributeMetadata attributeMetadata = (EnumAttributeMetadata)attributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;
foreach (OptionMetadata om in attributeMetadata.OptionSet.Options)
{
if (om.Value == ((OptionSetValue)entity.Attributes[field]).Value)
{
fieldlabel = om.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label;
}
}
return fieldlabel;

I have code that sets the PXDataFieldAssign value as follows:
pf = new PXDataFieldAssign<xTACProjectTask.dueDate>(someValue);
I also have a table, holding the DAC field names, such as "xTACProjectTask.dueDate". This table also has a checkbox field to determine whether to use this DAC field as a parameter.
Is there a way to not have the DAC fieldname hard-coded, and instead (maybe using a 'typeof' call?) use the results of the table query to set that field name - like the following?
pf = new PXDataFieldAssign<typeof("xTACProjectTask.dueDate")>(someValue);
or, using my query result:
pf = new PXDataFieldAssign<typeof(query.value)>(someValue);
with query.value being the value in the table holding the DAC field name?
You can create it using Type.GetType and Activator.CreateInstance. Please see the example below:
string typeName = "PX.Objects.IN.InventoryItem+descr,PX.Objects";
Type typeArgument = Type.GetType(typeName);
Type genericClass = typeof(PXDataFieldAssign<>);
Type constructedClass = genericClass.MakeGenericType(typeArgument);
object created = Activator.CreateInstance(constructedClass,new object[] { "Test Description" });
You will get the below wrapped into object in the created
I want to set the default value of a sharepoint document library column.
I use the following code:
field = list.Fields.GetByTitle("fieldname");
field.DefaultValue = "the default value";
field.Update();
pnpClientContext.ExecuteQuery();
In the document library "Column default value settings" you can see that the default value is set.
But when adding a document to the library, the default value is not copied. This is caused by the fact that the option "use this default value" is not set using the code above (see screenshot)
"use default value" is not set
What i'm missing?
Also check it in Library Settings > General Settings > Column default value settings.
Click on desired Column name and set Use this default value.
So apparently you need to change the "Default Value" in two places. In the general library settings and in the specific column settings.
Hope that helps!
Here is a example for setting default values for list items.
The sample is from sharepoint 2010 but it should works for both sharepoint online and 2013.
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
Web web = clientContext.Web;
List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("CustomList");
Field field = list.Fields.GetByTitle("Title");
field.DefaultValue = "Default";
field.Update();
clientContext.Load(field);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
You can try the following code：
//get taxonomy field
var taxColumn = ctx.CastTo<TaxonomyField>(ctx.Web.Fields.GetByTitle(taxFieldTitle));
ctx.Load(taxColumn);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
//initialize taxonomy field value
var defaultValue = new TaxonomyFieldValue();
defaultValue.WssId = -1;
defaultValue.Label = termLabel;
defaultValue.TermGuid = termId.ToString();
//retrieve validated taxonomy field value
var validatedValue = taxColumn.GetValidatedString(defaultValue);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
//set default value for a taxonomy field
taxColumn.DefaultValue = validatedValue.Value;
taxColumn.Update();
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
Hope that helps!
I am trying to figure out how to update a custom field on InventoryItem record in Netsuite. I can update regular fields, but can not seem to update anything
InventoryItem item = new InventoryItem();
WriteResponse response;
List<CustomFieldRef> oCustomFieldRefList = new List<CustomFieldRef>();
item.internalId = "9";
StringCustomFieldRef objStringCustomFieldRef = new StringCustomFieldRef();
objStringCustomFieldRef.internalId = "custitem_main_photo";
objStringCustomFieldRef.value = "http://www.google.com/test.jpg";
oCustomFieldRefList.Add(objStringCustomFieldRef);
item.customFieldList = oCustomFieldRefList.ToArray();
response = _nsService.update(item);
The status returned by the update call is Success. It just doesn't update the custom field. I've tried different fields and types, but nothing seems to save.
The internalId of the custom field is the numeric id, not the string id. Not sure why the documentation all shows the string id value, but using the number fixed the problem for me.
Instead of assigning internal Id, assign scriptId.
Turn this
objStringCustomFieldRef.internalId = "custitem_main_photo";
to this:
objStringCustomFieldRef.scriptId = "custitem_main_photo";
I'm creating a Sharepoint feature, this feature has an event receiver associated to it. In the event receiver, I'm creating a Document Library and Picture Library using server-side object model. I'm also adding new custom columns (around 80) to these newly created document and picture library. Now I want to modify the properties of the Description, Keywords and Title fields that are by default created along with the picture library. I want to make these fields as Required fields. How do I do this? I tried to set SPList.AllowContentTypes = true and try to change the attributes of these fields, but it doesn't work (neither gives an error nor makes these required fields). I also tried to access the content types and try to change the attributes using SPContentType.FieldsLinks["Column_name"].Required and SPContentType.Fields["Column_name"].Required but it gives me an error. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Here is the answer....
SPContentType ct = mypiclib.ContentTypes["Picture"];
SPFieldLinks titleLink = ct.FieldLinks["Title"];
SPFieldLinks descLink = ct.FieldLinks["comments"]; //internal name of Description
SPFieldLinks keywords = ct.FieldLinks["keywords"];
titlelink.Required = true;
descLink.Required = true;
keywords.Required = true;
ct.Update();
can you tell us the error you got when trying to use the fieldlinks? Because this should work... I have done it like this:
SPContentType ct = web.Lists["*ListName*"].ContentTypes["*ContentTypeName*"];
SPFieldLinkCollection flinks = ct.FieldLinks;
flinks["*ColumnName*"].Required = true;
ct.update();
This should do the trick:
SPWeb yourWeb = ... //assign your web
SPList yourPictureLibrary = ... //assign your picture library
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
yourPictureLibrary.Fields[SPBuiltInFieldId.Title].Required = true;
yourPictureLibrary.Fields[SPBuiltInFieldId.Description].Required = true;
yourPictureLibrary.Fields[SPBuiltInFieldId.Keywords].Required = true;
yourPictureLibrary.Update();
SPAllowContentTypes isn't settable. You might try setting ContentTypesEnabled instead.
I don't have a 2010 box to test against, but if SPAllowContentTypes returns false I think you're looking at modifying the definition of your picture library in the 14 hive (TEMPLATE\FEATURES\PictureLibrary\PicLib) to get what you're after. Tread lightly there.
I'm making a custom SharePoint List. I need a TimeStamp Field, but the only available type, by default, is DateTime.
Any help?
I think you would need to create a custom field type so that you can control the display of a DateTime type and validation etc - see this blog post for more info
I had the same problem in Sharepoint 2010 and solved it. Posting in case someone else finds this useful :)
To achieve this one must use the "Calculated" columntype.
From GUI:
Create new column
Pick type "Calculated".
Select "Created" column and add to formula.
Save.
From code:
As far as I can tell, there is two options to achieve this:
Access the "Created" and either set it's ShowInDisplayForm property to true or add the column to a view (for example the DefaultView).
Create a calculated column that points to the "Created" column, just as the GUI-example does. The trick is to set the "Formula" & the "OutputType" properties.
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteUrl))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
{
SPList list = web.Lists["test"];
string fieldName = list.Fields.Add("Timestamptest", SPFieldType.Calculated, false);
SPFieldCalculated field = list.Fields[fieldName] as SPFieldCalculated;
field.Formula = "=Created";
field.OutputType = SPFieldType.DateTime;
field.ShowInEditForm = false;
field.Update();
list.Update();
SPView defaultView = list.DefaultView;
defaultView.ViewFields.Add(field);
defaultView.Update();
}
}
});
