Hi,

Below is the Jscript functions to read “Option set” and get the option text by option value.

In this approach I have 3 methods and details are below

• getOptionSet() – Returns optionset object
  • Parameters
    • Entity Name           (Entity logical name)
    • Attribute Name        (i.e., Option set field name)
    • retrieveAsIfPublished (True/False)
• getTextByValue() – Returns option set text by passing value
  • Parameters
    • optionSet        (i.e., Option set object got from above method)
    • attributeValue   (Option set field value)
• getSOAPWrapper – Helper method

function getOptionSet (entityLogicalName, attributeLogicalName, retrieveAsIfPublished) {

var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl();

var ODataPath = serverUrl + “/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web”;

var MetadataId = “00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000”;

var request = “<Execute xmlns=\”http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services\” xmlns:i=\”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\“>”;

request += “<request i:type=\”a:RetrieveAttributeRequest\” xmlns:a=\”http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts\“>”;

request += “<a:Parameters xmlns:b=\”http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic\“>”;

request += “<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “<b:key>EntityLogicalName</b:key>”;

request += “<b:value i:type=\”c:string\” xmlns:c=\”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\“>” + entityLogicalName + “</b:value>”;

request += “</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “<b:key>MetadataId</b:key>”;

request += “<b:value i:type=\”ser:guid\”  xmlns:ser=\”http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/\“>” + MetadataId + “</b:value>”;

request += “</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “<b:key>RetrieveAsIfPublished</b:key>”;

request += “<b:value i:type=\”c:boolean\” xmlns:c=\”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\“>” + retrieveAsIfPublished + “</b:value>”;

request += “</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “<b:key>LogicalName</b:key>”;

request += “<b:value i:type=\”c:string\”   xmlns:c=\”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\“>” + attributeLogicalName + “</b:value>”;

request += “</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>”;

request += “</a:Parameters>”;

request += “<a:RequestId i:nil=\”true\” /><a:RequestName>RetrieveAttribute</a:RequestName></request>”;

request += “</Execute>”;

request = _getSOAPWrapper(request);

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.open(“POST”, ODataPath, false);

req.setRequestHeader(“Accept”, “application/xml, text/xml, */*”);

req.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “text/xml; charset=utf-8”);

req.setRequestHeader(“SOAPAction”, “http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services/IOrganizationService/Execute“);

req.send(request);

if (req.responseXML != null) {

var attributeData = req.responseXML.selectSingleNode(“//b:value”);

if (attributeData != null) {

var attributeType = attributeData.selectSingleNode(“c:AttributeType”).text;

switch (attributeType) {

case “Picklist”:

return attributeData;

break;

default:

break;

}

}

}

}

function _getSOAPWrapper(request) {

var SOAP = “<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=\”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\“><soapenv:Body>”;

SOAP += request;

SOAP += “</soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>”;

return SOAP;

}

function getTextByValue(optionSet, attributeValue) {

var options = optionSet.selectSingleNode(“c:OptionSet//c:Options”);

for (var i = 0; i < options.childNodes.length; i++) {

var value = options.childNodes[i].selectSingleNode(“c:Value”).text;

if (value == attributeValue) {

var text = options.childNodes[i].selectSingleNode(“c:Label”).selectSingleNode(“a:UserLocalizedLabel”).selectSingleNode(“a:Label”).text;

return text;

}

}

}

How do I call this method –

• Copy the above functions and create a Jscript webresource in CRM
• In below example I am reading “Address Type” option set of entity “Contact”

// Get option set object by passing params

// Entity name, Optionset field name, true/false

var optionSet = getOptionSet(“contact”, “address1_addresstypecode”, true);

if (optionSet) {

// Read option text of value ‘2’

var optionValue = 2;

var optionText = getTextByValue(optionSet, optionValue);

alert(“Text of option value – ” + optionValue + ” is -” + optionText);

// Read option text of value ‘10001’

optionValue = 10001;

optionText = getTextByValue(optionSet, optionValue);

alert(“Text of option value – ” + optionValue + ” is -” + optionText);

}

else {

alert(“Invalid Option set”);

}

Hope it helps 🙂
