Hi,

i tried to prevent saving a record, however the record still gets saved. i dont know how to debug this problem, since there is no feedback.
here my code

function preventSave(econtext) {
    var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();
	var formContext = econtext.getFormContext();
	var requesttype = formContext.getAttribute("go_requesttype").getValue();
    if ((eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 70 || eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 2 || eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 1 || eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 59) && requesttype == 936520001) {
	var confirmStrings = { text:"You are about to delete this record and associated records.", title:"Delete Confirmation" };
	var confirmOptions = { height: 200, width: 450 };
	Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog(confirmStrings, confirmOptions).then(
	function (success) {    
		if (success.confirmed){
			console.log("Dialog closed using OK button.");
		}else{
			console.log(eventArgs);
			eventArgs.preventDefault();
			console.log("Dialog closed using Cancel button or X.");
		}
	});  
    }
}

any ideas? am i using this method correctly?

Hi,

I have made some Changes in your code and its work.Call this function in OnSave Event

var isConfirmed = false;

function preventSave(econtext) {
var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();
var formContext = econtext.getFormContext();
var requesttype = formContext.getAttribute("go_requesttype").getValue();

if ((eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 70 || eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 2 || eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 1 || eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 59) && requesttype == 936520001) {
var confirmStrings = {
text: "You are about to delete this record and associated records.",
title: "Delete Confirmation"
};
var confirmOptions = {
height: 200,
width: 450
};
if (!isConfirmed) {
eventArgs.preventDefault();
Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog(confirmStrings, confirmOptions).then(
function (success) {
if (success.confirmed) {
isConfirmed = true; //to make sure we don't display alert dialog from onSave this time
Xrm.Page.data.save();
console.log("Dialog closed using OK button.");
} else {
console.log(eventArgs);
eventArgs.preventDefault();
isConfirmed = false;
console.log("Dialog closed using Cancel button or X.");
}
});
} else {
isConfirmed = false;
}
}
}

Note: As per your code it will popup dialog box in auto Save also

Hi,

I believe you call this method on Form OnSave event. So, put "return false;" line after this statement;

eventArgs.preventDefault();

console.log("Dialog closed using Cancel button or X.");

return false;

because when we click on save button it automatically called savemethod Xrm.Page.data.save();.As you are doing here is openconfirmdialog but before open the openconfirmdailog function it already saved the record. So we have to restrict it save that why it call before the openconfirmdialog
