CRM 2016/2015/2013: Applying custom FetchXml to a subgrid using JavaScript

I have faced a scenario to show Account related contacts emails in sub-grid on account form.
In my scenario there is a many to many relationship between account and contact.
and i want to show Account related contacts emails in sub-grid on Account.

To achieve this goal i add a sub-grid of emails on account form.



Then i developed fetch XML in advanced find to show account related contacts emails.

var FetchXml = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='true'>" +
                                "<entity name='email'>" +
                                    "<attribute name='subject' />" +
                                    "<order attribute='subject' descending='false' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='to' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='from' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='createdon' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='activityid' />" +
                                    "<link-entity name='activityparty' from='activityid' to='activityid' alias='ad'>" +
                                       "<link-entity name='contact' from='contactid' to='partyid' alias='ae'>" +
                                       "<link-entity name='new_account_contact' from='contactid' to='contactid' visible='false' intersect='true'>" +
                                           "<filter type='and'>" +
                                            "<condition attribute='accountid' uitype='account' value='" + accountid + "' operator='eq'/>" +
                                         "</filter>" +
                                       "</link-entity>" +
                                     "</link-entity>" +
                                    "</link-entity>" +
                                    "</entity>" +
                                  "</fetch>";


To apply this custom fetch XML  to the sub-grid i used the below JavaScript function.

function dynamicallyFilterSubGrid() {
    var objSubGrid = window.parent.document.getElementById("RelatedContactEmails");
    //CRM loads subgrid after form is loaded.. so when we are adding script on form load.. need to wait unitil subgrid is loaded.
    // thats why adding delay..
    if (objSubGrid == null) {
        setTimeout(dynamicallyFilterSubGrid, 2000);
        return;
    }
    else {
        if (objSubGrid.control != null) {
            var accountid = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
            var FetchXml = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='true'>" +
                                "<entity name='email'>" +
                                    "<attribute name='subject' />" +
                                    "<order attribute='subject' descending='false' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='to' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='from' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='createdon' />" +
                                    "<attribute name='activityid' />" +
                                    "<link-entity name='activityparty' from='activityid' to='activityid' alias='ad'>" +
                                       "<link-entity name='contact' from='contactid' to='partyid' alias='ae'>" +
                                       "<link-entity name='new_account_contact' from='contactid' to='contactid' visible='false' intersect='true'>" +
                                           "<filter type='and'>" +
                                            "<condition attribute='accountid' uitype='account' value='" + accountid + "' operator='eq'/>" +
                                         "</filter>" +
                                       "</link-entity>" +
                                     "</link-entity>" +
                                    "</link-entity>" +
                                    "</entity>" +
                                  "</fetch>";
            objSubGrid.control.SetParameter("fetchXml", FetchXml);
            objSubGrid.control.Refresh();
        }
        else {
            setTimeout(dynamicallyFilterSubGrid, 2000); // this setTimeout function is necessay because first objSubGrid.control is null
        }
    }
}

Lead not able to qualify in Microsoft Dynamics CRM

When qualifying Lead and it throw error like 

"An error has occurred. Either the data does not exist or you do not have sufficient privileges to view the data. Contact your system administrator for help" 

This error is basically occur because someone have deleted Stakeholder connection role from the CRM.

The Process of adding Stakeholder connection role to the CRM.
Create a solution in the org in which lead is qualifying successfully.
then add the Stakeholder connection role to the solution then export the solution and import the solution to the org in which lead is not qualifying and the above error is coming.
and publish the solution.

so the  above error will be resolved.

In the below function RetrieveParentAccount() i want to  show how to retrieve string, option Set, lookup and  to Two Option fields
I have test the   RetrieveParentAccount() function on form OnLoad of contact entity.


  function RetrieveParentAccount() {
   
    var accountLookup = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("parentcustomerid");
    if (accountLookup != null) {
        var accountLookupValue = accountLookup.getValue();
        var accountGuid = accountLookupValue[0].id;
        accountGuid = accountGuid.replace("{", "");
        accountGuid = accountGuid.replace("}", "");

        //name : is single line of text field
        //primarycontactid : is Lookup field
        //preferredcontactmethodcode: is optionset field
        //donotemail : is two option field

        //filter by lookup field
        // var filter = "&$filter=_primarycontactid_value eq 0F7AFC02-891C-E611-80E1-5065F38B0371";

        //filter byOptionset field

                var result = eval('(' + service.responseText + ')');
                var name = result.name; // extract single line of text field
                var lookupGuid = result._primarycontactid_value; // extract Look up guid
                var lookupEntityName = result['_primarycontactid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname']; //extract look up logical name
                var lookupName = result['_primarycontactid_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']; // extract lookup text
                var booleanFieldValue = result.donotemail; // boolean field
                var booleanFieldText = result['donotemail@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']; // boolean field text
