With Depreciation of xrm.page which was used to get attribute/property of an item of form. We all have switched to the latest FormContext which require executionContext need top be passed as a Parameter "Pass Execution Context as First Parameter" from event

Now how to pass ExecutionContext for the javascript action used for a Button on Ribbon Workbench

From Event Handler Property we can simply enable checkbox “Pass execution context as first parameter ” and use that for Form Context as Below

And we can get FormContext from 1st parameter Execution Parameter.

function readXML(executionContext) {   
 if (executionContext !== null) {

             formContext =  executionContext.getFormContext();
   }
alert("executionContext  is null ");
}

How to Pass ExecutionContext or FormContext for a JS action on the button in Ribbon Workbench

Open Ribbon WorkBench
Select Solution contains entity and components
Add button, Add command
Now add Javascript Action and select Javascript and Function
Now Click on Add Parameter
Add CRM Parameter
and select Primary Control

1 thing to remember, like for Form Button , always use PrimaryControl as Form Control

function readXML(executionContext) {   
 if (executionContext !== null) {

             formContext =  executionContext;  //PrimaryControl
   }
alert("executionContext  is null ");
}
