Unable to Customize Add Existing Button in the subgrid in UCI In Dynamics 365 CRM with 9.1 version.

Hi,

I have some custom entities and need to customize the Add Existing Button in the subgrid based on the values provided in the fields added in the main entity.

I tried to do with below code and it throws error saying that getRelationship() is not a function.

Kindly provide a solution to overcome this issue.

// JavaScript source code
function replaceAddExistingButtonViewCustom(gridTypeCode, gridControl, primaryEntityName, primaryEntityTypeCode, firstPrimaryItemId, gridTypeName, PrimaryControl) {
    if (primaryEntityName == "md_postsalestransactionheader") {
        var contactId = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("md_customercontact").getValue()[0].id;
        var picklistType = "md_type";
        var picklistTypeName = Xrm.Page.getControl(picklistType);
        var picklistTypeAttribute = picklistTypeName.getAttribute();
        var picklistTypeSelectedOption = picklistTypeAttribute.getSelectedOption();
        var unitSaleIDs = "";
    }
    if ((primaryEntityName == "md_postsalestransactionheader") && (picklistTypeSelectedOption.text == "Fund Transfer") && (gridTypeName == "md_receipt")) {

       // AssociateReceipts(PrimaryControl);

       //Code commented as it throw error.
                var PropertyId = new Array();
                var ContactId = new Array();
                var AccountId = new Array();
                var UnitSaleID = new Array();
                var UnitID = new Array();
                var Conditions = "";
                var LinkEntityConditions = "";
                var status;               
                if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("md_receiptcontactid").getValue() != null) {
                    ContactId = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("md_receiptcontactid").getValue()[0].id;
                    Conditions  = "";
                }
                if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("md_receiptaccountid").getValue() != null) {
                    AccountId = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("md_receiptaccountid").getValue()[0].id;

Hello Jincy,

The code you shared contains a number of unsupported and undocumented methods, which is something Microsoft has always advised against:

Mscrm.GridRibbonActions.addExistingFromSubGridStandard
XrmCore.Commands.AddFromSubGrid.addExistingFromSubGridAssociated

It is in fact expected that they can break without notice, especially during an update or transition to the Unified Interface.
While these might have technically worked in the legacy web client, I suppose they don't anymore in the Unified Interface.

You will find out more about unsupported customizations in this article:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/supported-customizations#unsupported-customizations

I suggest that you run the Solution Checker against your solutions to help you identify unsupported customizations and problematic patterns:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/common-data-service/use-powerapps-checker

I don't believe there is a supported way for you to alter the behavior of the "Add Existing" button in a supported manner, but there are alternatives that you could investigate to meet your business requirements:
