ReportIf you are working in a scenario where you have to open Quick Create Form through JavaScript and save/refresh the calling record after the quick create form has been saved, you have few choices.
In this article I will show you how you can leverage the async and awaitoperators in JavaScript to solve this scenario.
First thing let’s try to define asyncand await
Async: - pretty much a function that returns a promise
Await: - makes JavaScript wait until the promise has been settled.
First thing let’s define the function that is going to Open Quick Create Form
function QuickCreate() {
var entityFormOptions = {};
entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "contact";
entityFormOptions["useQuickCreateForm"] = true;
// Set default values for the Contact form
var formParameters = {};
formParameters["firstname"] = "Sample";
formParameters["lastname"] = "Contact";
formParameters["fullname"] = "Sample Contact";
formParameters["emailaddress1"] = "contact@adventure-works.com";
formParameters["jobtitle"] = "Sr. Marketing Manager";
formParameters["donotemail"] = "1";
formParameters["description"] = "Default values for this record were set programmatically.";
// Open the form.
return Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then(
function (success) {
console.log(success);
return success
},
function (error) {
console.log(error);
return null;
});}
Next we are going to define the function that is going to consume the QuickCreate() and see how we can use the JavaScript operators
async function ConsumeQuickCreate (formContext) {
//here you can define which fields you want to update after the quick create has saved
formContext.getAttribute("statuscode").setValue("set your value here");
var success = awaitQuickCreate();
if (success) formContext.data.refresh(save);
}
As you have noticed in the code above formContext.data.refresh(save); is not going to be executed until the QuickCreate() function has return a value.
