   I'm having trouble setting the value of a static lookup field using javascript. 
   
   I am using the following line of code:
       tpc.forms[0].new_crmaccount.set_value(crmaccount);
     
   and when I check this value from the console I see that it is populated. 
       tpc.forms[0].new_crmaccount.get_value();
      'account;<MYGUIDHERE>'
   
   When I submit this form, my crm rejects the submission. Are there other properties of this lookup field I need to set when I set it programatically?

   Mike, 
   Yes, you need to use the "account;GUID" method for set_value in a lookup. Here's the documentation: https://www.crmportalconnector.com/developer-network/documentation/portal-connector-widgets/tpc-client-side-api/mvc-based/lookup 
   I believe it also obeys the encryption if you have that on the field so using your method of get_value should inform you of which type of GUID to use whether encrypted or not.
