Pass selected rows’ GUIDs to ribbon button in D365 | Ribbon Workbench

Whenever your Ribbon button customization involves doing something to selected records, here’s the most common application that you need to take action on the selected record’s GUIDs.

Here’s how –

CRM Parameter

In Ribbon Workbench, let’s say you have a button command which is attached to a button and it calls a method ‘process’ which looks like this (it will be your method in your case)

1. In Commands, Custom JavaScript Action will have a CRM Parameter called as SelectedControlSelectedItemIds [pretty self explanatory ]
   
   
   
   And it’ll pass data of the selected GUIDs in my data variable passed to the method.
   

Read the GUIDs

Here’s my sample code where I intend to read it from the function I used to call when user clicks on the ribbon button

1. Now, let’s say I select a few records on the Main Sub-grid where I’ve put my button on.
   
   
   
2. Now, on clicking it, it’ll pass the three selected records’ GUIDs to the method that the button is calling. You can read it from the data parameter
   
3. You can further read from this array and use it to perform your operations.
