Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm: open form in new window (popup)

Posted on by Community Member

I am using this function to open a new entity form, but it opens in the same window. Is it possible to open it in a popup window?

The solution here does not work, because there is just a link to the function description: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/119978

In this page the last example (with extraqs) does open a popup window but if I click "Save and close" on the new window, what I see then is a view with all opportunities, but I would like to see the calling page where I was before.

Thank you

Hi,

To achieve your requirements, you should not open the new entity form in separate window. Rather if you open the new entity form in same window, then on Save & Close, it will navigate the user to the parent page from where it was called. So no need of new window.

Kindly tick verify answer if this resolves your query.

Thanks.

To expand on Andrii's link you'll need something like this:

var options = { openInNewWindow: true };
Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(entityname, recordid, null, options);

var entityFormOptions = {};

entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "contact";

entityFormOptions["openInNewWindow"] = true;
