How does it look

Lookup to account is created on contact form, initially it is blank

On the Dynamics 365 Mobile App the control appears as QR scanner

- On Click QR is scanned and the output is passed to the search based on the input params

- Retrieved value is set to the lookup field.

- Value is updated back to contact record
