Save a form from a button

I've looked at other posts and found some code to leverage but it doesn't do anything on my form.

I created a web resource html with the following:

<html><head>
<meta><meta><meta></head>

<body onfocusout="parent.setEmailRange();" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">
<button onclick="SaveForm()">Save Notes</button>
<script>
function SaveForm(executionContext) {
debugger;
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var id = formContext.data.entity.getId();
var entity = formContext.data.entity.getEntityName();
if (executionContext != null) {
if (formContext.data.entity.getIsDirty()) {
alert("3");
}
//formContext.data.entity.save();
formContext.data.save().then(
function () {Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(entity, id);},
function () {alert(errorCode+message)},
)
}
}
</script>

</body></html>

've added this to my form.

Button shows up fine but doesn't actually save. Still says unsaved changes in bottom right.

Not giving me any errors either.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Terry

RE: Save a form from a button

Hi Mattw,

As discussion in this post:

https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/microsoft-dynamics-crm-forum/284186/how-to-pass-the-execution-context-to-crm-html-webresource-in-dynamics-365-v9

Currently we could still work with parent.Xrm.Page in our web resource(in form) to call client API.

You could instead replace formContext with parent.Xrm.Page:

<html>

<head>

<meta />

<meta />

<meta />

</head>

<body onfocusout="parent.setEmailRange();"

style='overflow-wrap:break-word;'>

<button onclick="SaveForm()">Save Notes</button>

<script>

function SaveForm() {

debugger;

var id = parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

var entity = parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName();

if (parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty()) {

alert("3");

}

parent.Xrm.Page.data.save().then(

function() {

parent.Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(entity, id);

},

function() {

alert(errorCode + message);

}

);

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

Regards,

Clofly
