milliskenny Update the referring object with the ID of the new related object created
Hopefully this is an easy one. In the code below, I create a custom object (Dept) that has a one to many relationship with the contact (one Dept to many contacts). The s-control starts from the contact and creates the new Dept with the account_id and the address information from the contact. I use the create function on the Dynabean to create the Dept, and then retrieve the Id of the new object so I can open the record in the modal window.
The issue arises when I try to update the Contact record with the id of the new Dept. I get a javascript error referencing line 3653, with the error message of "exception thrown and not caught".
I am pretty new to all this stuff, so I looked at the js library file for AJAX 3.3 beta and the function around line 3653 reads:
Sforce.Dynabean.prototype.set = function(propName, value) {
var fldDef = this.definition.fieldMap.getItem(propName);
var cr = this.definition.childRelationships.getItem(propName.toLowerCase());
var rn = this.definition.parentRelationships.getItem(propName.toLowerCase());
var fldDef = this.definition.fieldMap.getItem(propName);
var cr = this.definition.childRelationships.getItem(propName.toLowerCase());
var rn = this.definition.parentRelationships.getItem(propName.toLowerCase());
if (fldDef == null && cr == null && rn == null) {
throw "The property " + propName + " is not a valid field.";
} else { <----- This is line 3653
//Validate type if possible
//TODO validate other types
if (fldDef != null) {
if (fldDef.type == "date" || fldDef.type == "datetime") {
if (Sforce.Util.dltypeof(value) != "date" && Sforce.Util.dltypeof(value) != "datetime" && value != null) {
throw "Invalid type: You passed a " + Sforce.Util.dltypeof(value) + " but the field requires a " + fldDef.type + ".";
}
}
}
throw "The property " + propName + " is not a valid field.";
} else { <----- This is line 3653
//Validate type if possible
//TODO validate other types
if (fldDef != null) {
if (fldDef.type == "date" || fldDef.type == "datetime") {
if (Sforce.Util.dltypeof(value) != "date" && Sforce.Util.dltypeof(value) != "datetime" && value != null) {
throw "Invalid type: You passed a " + Sforce.Util.dltypeof(value) + " but the field requires a " + fldDef.type + ".";
}
}
}
It appears that it cannot find a reference to the field I want to write back to. The field is of type "lookup" and should reference a Dept related object.
Here is the section of the code where I do the update. Thanks in advance for any help!
//This is where I create the new Dept
var newDeptList = new Array();
var newDept = new Sforce.Dynabean("Department__c");
newDept.set("Id","");
newDept.set("Name", name + " - " + deptPrompt );
newDept.set("Account__c", "{!Account_Id}" );
newDept.set("Legal_Entity__c", legal_entity);
newDept.set("Address__c",mailing_street);
newDept.set("City__c",mailing_city);
newDept.set("StateProvince__c",mailing_state);
newDept.set("Country__c",mailing_country);
newDept.set("Postal_Code__c",mailing_postalcode);
newDeptList[0] = newDept;
// Create new Department
results = sforceClient.Create(newDeptList);
//If the first value in the result array is null then it's a fault.
if( results[0] != null &&
results[0].success == true )
var newDept = new Sforce.Dynabean("Department__c");
newDept.set("Id","");
newDept.set("Name", name + " - " + deptPrompt );
newDept.set("Account__c", "{!Account_Id}" );
newDept.set("Legal_Entity__c", legal_entity);
newDept.set("Address__c",mailing_street);
newDept.set("City__c",mailing_city);
newDept.set("StateProvince__c",mailing_state);
newDept.set("Country__c",mailing_country);
newDept.set("Postal_Code__c",mailing_postalcode);
newDeptList[0] = newDept;
// Create new Department
results = sforceClient.Create(newDeptList);
//If the first value in the result array is null then it's a fault.
if( results[0] != null &&
results[0].success == true )
//Now I go to get the Id of the new dept record I created
{
// Fetch department id
newDeptId = results[0].id;
//Update the existing contact with the new Dept ID
var contactUpdateList = new Array();
var contactUpdate = new Sforce.Dynabean("contact");
contactUpdate.set("Id","{!Contact_Id}");
{
// Fetch department id
newDeptId = results[0].id;
//Update the existing contact with the new Dept ID
var contactUpdateList = new Array();
var contactUpdate = new Sforce.Dynabean("contact");
contactUpdate.set("Id","{!Contact_Id}");
//The next line is where it fails
contactUpdate.set("NewDepartment__c",newDeptId);
contactUpdateList[0] = contactUpdate;
contactUpdate.set("NewDepartment__c",newDeptId);
contactUpdateList[0] = contactUpdate;
//Update the Contact
var resultsCon = sforceClient.update(contactUpdateList);
contactUpdateList.save();
contactUpdateList.save();

suggestions:
----------------
1. Make sure custom obj ID is not null.
2. Try to update contact without the custom Object ref..
I would start with checking the dynabean instantiation .. check if you have typed "Contact" or "contact" .. I am not sure if this is case sensitive..
Make sure you are actually able to update the contact without the Custom object field..
3. check if the profile you are using . has permissions to update contact..
I am just throwing out ideas here.. Hope this helps...
Thanks,

if i recall , relations to std objects came in 7.0
also look into your enterprise WSDL to make sure you have the field spelled correctly, it should match something in there.
try { ....code here... } catch(errmsg){ alert( errmsg.toString() ); }This should display a popup box with a good bit of detail to help debug what is going wrong.
