When it come to copying Owner attribute value aand assinging it to another owner attribute in CRM Form, its not just like a simple textbox value (where u can directly assing .DataValue property to the another attribute)

Have a look at the below code, which Reads and assign Owner attribute value to another owner attribute on CRM Form.

// Get hold of Owner and default it to the Commission Owner 1
var oOwner = new Array();
oOwner = null;
oOwner = crmForm.all.ownerid.DataValue;

//Create an array to set as the DataValue for the Owner control.
var lookupData = new Array();
var oCommissionOwnerOne = new Object();

if (oOwner[0] != null)
{
// Set the id, typename, and name properties to the object.
oCommissionOwnerOne.id = oOwner[0].id;
oCommissionOwnerOne.typename = oOwner[0].typename;
oCommissionOwnerOne.name = oOwner[0].name;

// Add the object to the array.
lookupData[0] = oCommissionOwnerOne;

// Set the value of the lookup field to the value of the array.
crmForm.all.new_commissionmarginownerone.DataValue = lookupData;
}

Happy copying (and Coding too) !!!!
