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

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

var entityFormOptions = {};

entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "contact";

entityFormOptions["openInNewWindow"] = true;

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

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

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.
