Using LookUp Fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

You have common data service (current environment) and common data service.

Within common data service.

Example:

Reading Order gives me several fields e.g. the contactperson. This contactperson is a look up for entity contacts.

Now I want to create an record in another table e.g.  MakeNewContact. In this table i also have a lookup field for entity contacts

 

First Question is: How do you assign the value of contactperson order into new record lookup field contact?

    To set a lookup for contact please use /contacts/contactGUID

    This is also correct if you are not using the CDS current environment, you can go ahead and mark what worked for you.
