executionContext for JS and HTML web resource that should be triggered by onclick

Basically, trying to execute an on-demand workflow when a button is clicked.

HTML

JS

There are a couple issues I've run into:

Passing executionContext as a parameter in the HTML results in undefined
Removing it does call the JS function, but then executionContext is still undefined--need to pass executionContext as first parameter
Add the JS to the form properties under Form Libraries and then under Event Handlers so I can add the "pass executionContext as first paramater"--this results in "Cannot read property 'getFormContext' of undefined"
Also, the HTML web resource doesn't show as Control under Event Handlers, so it is currenly OnLoad which causes an error when the form loads

So how should I be setting this up?

Hi partner,

We could not get "executionContext" in html web resource directly.

From your code I saw that you just want to get the value of "org_productbuyerid" field, so I suggest that you could follow my steps.

For example I want to get the form field "Name" value in html web resource.

I used the following code.

var value2= window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").getValue()

Although Microsoft has announced that it is abandoning this approach "Xrm.page", However, they did not say that it should not be used in the form, which is the most appropriate method at present.

BTW, if your field "productbuyerid" is a look up field, you need to get its id by this code:

var buyer=formContext.getAttribute("productbuyerid").getValue();

var buyerid=buyer[0].id;

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Leo
