Inline lookup control for custom entity

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

Hello Team,

 

I am looking for functionality allowing the user to create new lookup records while clicking on the new inline button without opening a new popup window or modal pop-up. 

 

Example - https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/dynamics365/no-audience/2013/10/15/new-capabilities-in-crm-lookups/#_Edit_attribute_mappings

 

Anyone can please help me with this requirement.

Thanks

    The link you provided just opens a quick create form with a value pre-populated - it is not creating records without opening another form etc. 

    If you want to open the new form by sliding it out then you will need to enable and configure a quick create form on the Table the lookup is to .https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/model-driven-apps/create-edit-quick-create-forms

    To pre-populate data off the current record you are on you would need to configure relationship mapping .https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/customize/map-entity-fields?view=op-9-1

     

    The 'special' example they show is that for Contact, Account and Customer Lookup fields there is some additional functionality that will attempt to pre-fill off what the user typed in the lookup search. 

    - and as per the link you provided it is only available for Contact and Account/Cuatomer Lookups
