I have created a custom drop-down list and inserting drop-down data into lookup column(in a list).
How to insert drop down data into a look up column?
I am trying below code but it is not working.
oListItem.set_item('SupportCategoryName', ddlgrpname);
Please try following code. It is perfectly working code. Here "valToBeInsertd" is varible name.
function InsertIntoLookUp()
{
var itemCreationInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
oListItem = list.addItem(itemCreationInfo);
var selectedText = valToBeInsertd;
oListItem.set_item('Name', "-1;#" + selectedText);
oListItem.update();
context2.load(oListItem);
context2.executeQueryAsync(SuccessInsertIntoLookUp, FailInsertIntoLookUp);
}
function SuccessInsertIntoLookUp()
{
alert("inserted....");
}
function FailInsertIntoLookUp()
{
alert("failed to insert into lookup");
}
var lookupSingle = new SP.FieldLookupValue();
lookupSingle.set_lookupId(theIdHere);
oListItem.set_item('SupportCategoryName', lookupSingle);
var e = document.getElementById('<%=ddlgrpname.ClientID%>');
var ddlgrpname = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
oListItem.set_item('SupportCategory', ddlgrpname);
