PCF Control Lookup field is getting update on the form

Posted on by sandzz 24

Hi,

 

I am able to select an item from the lookup.  When I select an item my OnSelectItem event is working.

 

I can see the selected data to build the lookup.   But the form is not getting assigned the selected lookup.

public init(context: any, notifyOutputChanged: (value?: IOutputs) => void, state: any, container: HTMLDivElement): void {
        const onItemSelected = (selectedItem: any) => {
            console.log('onItemSelected event triggered');

            try {
                if (selectedItem) {
                    // Set the new value directly
                    const newValue: ComponentFramework.LookupValue[] = [{
                        entityType: "lfs_systemitemgroup",
                        id: selectedItem._lfs_systemitemgroupid_value,
                        name: selectedItem.lfs_systemitemgroupname
                    }];

                    notifyOutputChanged({ lfs_SystemItemGroupId: newValue });
                } else {
                    // Clear the value of the lookup field if nothing is selected
                    //context.parameters.lfs_SystemItemGroupId.raw.setValue(null);
                    notifyOutputChanged({ lfs_SystemItemGroupId: undefined });
                }
                if (selectedItem) {
                    alert("help");
                }
            } catch (error: any) {
                console.error("Error setting lookup field value:", error.message);
            }
        };

    NotifyOutputChange doesn't accept any parameters. You have to call it to notify that output changed and put the assigning of the new value to the getOutputs function. You can check an example exactly with the lookup in the following repository - https://github.com/AndrewButenko/LookupToOptionset/blob/main/LookupToOptionset/index.ts
