Ben4817 Problem using Account.PersonContactId in S-Control
I have an s-control for a contact that needs to grab related objects. It works great on Contacts, but I need it to work on Person Accounts as well. The API states that the contact Id for the Person Account is stored in the Account.PersonContactId field, but the s-control says that field does not exist. I need the following to work:
var result = sforce.connection.query("Select Id, Name from CustomObject__c where Contact__c = '"+"{!Account.PersonContactId}"' ");
I've tried using the account id as was suggested in another thread, but that did not work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I actually got this to work myself. I ended up doing a query to get all contacts with the account Id of the person account I needed to work with. It looks like this now:
if("{!Account.IsPersonAccount}"==1) {
var tempresult = sforce.connection.query("Select Id, Name from Contact where AccountId = '"+"{!Account.Id}"+"' ");
var contacts = tempresult.getArray("records");
recordid = contacts[0].Id;
}
else recordid = "{!Contact.Id}";
It still seems bizarre that I can't access the PersonContactId field because I know that it's there and has data. Hopefully this helps someone else get around this.
