How can I read parent window's fields and pass it to a web resource in a child window (Modal)?

Something like below,

I need to read about 10 fields and use it in web resource.

I can retrieve with a service call, but just checking if i can read directly using getAttribute.

Tried few methods like this - window.opener.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("myfield").getValue()

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I would highly recommend to use WebApi to get the data. If you anyway want to get the data using DOM you should try to use window.parent.Xrm... to get the data.

Can't you just add Xrm.Page.data.refresh(); on callback of the Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo function?

Something like this:

Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(INPUT).then(

function success() {

Xrm.Page.data.refresh();

},

function error() {

// Handle errors

}

);

The only easy way of doing it I found was usage of sesionStorage/localStorage. If you want to see the way I do it - I have a post/video scheduled for this week where I will demonstrate how I do it. So if you don't want to miss it - subscribe to my blog and youtube channel.
