Refresh a subgrid until a field has a certain value

Posted on by usersm365 39

Hi all,
What do you recommend to auto-refresh a subgrid every 10 seconds by stopping the refresh as soon as a form field has a certain value?

(Both the form and the field are populated by external processes).

I initially tried with

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm (formContext.data.entity.getEntityName (), formContext.data.entity.getId ());

but this refreshes the entire form, I would rather just refresh the subgrid to avoid flickering the page every 10 seconds

Thank you in advance!

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    You can try adding “console.log(fieldValue)” to the code.

    Check the type of the value returned by "getValue()" on the console and change the condition in "if()".

    Thanks Yuri, with this code the subgrid refreshes every few seconds.
    If I manually try to change the "Import status" = "Completed" field, it stops refreshing.

    However, the "Import status" field is set to "Completed" by external processes (serever side).

    So the problem is that the subgrid does not stop refreshing because, until a refresh of the form is also done, it will not be able to read the actual value of the field but only the one shown in the form.

    Hi,

    Please try the following code:

    function refreshSubgrid(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var fieldValue = formContext.getAttribute("fieldLogicName").getValue(); 
    var subgrid = formContext.ui.controls.get("Subgrid_new_1");
    subgrid.refresh();
    var timer = setInterval(refreshSubgrid,10000,executionContext);
    if(fieldValue == “test”){
        clearInterval(timer);
    }
}

    Thanks Andrew, 
    Solved how to update the subgrid, two problems remain:
    1) how to automatically update the subgrid every 10 seconds
    2) how to stop this auto-update as soon as the "Import status" field of the form assumes the value "Completed".

    Hello,

    You can refresh a particular subgrid using the following code:

    //getting formContext

    formContext.getControl("subgrid id here").refresh();
