Pass the query string value to NewForm.aspx SharePoint 2013

Question

I need to fill a look up value with query string parameter in custom new form in sharepoint 2013. what should I do?

Answer 1

Use javascript by adding a Content Editor to the page or adding it to the markup itself. I did something similar, picked up ContactId from Query String. Picked up this code from here

    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

        //get the Contact ID from they query string
        var contactId = getParameterByName("contactId");

        //Set the corresponding Lookup field value to the Contact ID
        $("select[title='Contact Name']").val(contactId);    

        //use this line to disable the lookup field selection
        $("select[title='Contact Name']").attr('disabled','disabled')

        //use this line to hide the lookup field and label entirely
        //$("select[title='Contact Name']").closest("tr").hide();            
    });

    function getParameterByName(name)
    {
      name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
      var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
      var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
      var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
      if(results == null)
        return "";
      else
        return decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
    }

    </script>
