I'm trying to just Javascript to add a list item when in SharePoint 2013 using the following code;
function createListItem() {
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('CrewNoticesAudit');
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', 'My New Item!');
oListItem.set_item('NoticeId', 1); // THIS IS A LOOKUP VALUE
oListItem.set_item('User', 'administrator');
oListItem.set_item('TimeStamp', new Date());
oListItem.set_item('AuditType', 'Open');
oListItem.update();
clientContext.load(oListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}
function onQuerySucceeded() {
alert('Item created: ' + oListItem.get_id());
}
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
The problem that I'm having is that NoticeId is a lookup value looking at a different list. Do I need to do something different to set a lookup value on an item?
UPDATE: sorry, cracked it. Second google more fruitful.
If anyone else is struggling, you need to create a lookup field.
var noticeIdLookup = new SP.FieldLookupValue();
noticeId.set_lookupId(noticeId);
Correct way is:
var lkfieldsomthing = new SP.FieldLookupValue();
lkfieldsomthing.set_lookupId(ID_VALUE); //WHERE ID_VALUE is the unique ID
then while setting you can use
listItem.set_item("LOOKUP_COLUMN_NAME", lkfieldsomthing )
