How to perform a multiselection in Menu item function

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by D365FO Avatar 668

Hi All,

In All projects form, there is a button "Project Stage" in Action pane "Project" which is used to update the project stage of the selected record (multiselection is disabled). Now the requirement is to make a new button which allows multiselection and can update the project stage of multiple selected records.

As per the standard, A menu item functions are used under this button and a parameter value and menu item is been called. Now in customized button, done with the same menu item functions and make Multi select as Yes and override the OnClicked event handler to call it multiple times for ProjTable

But it is not working as the menu item is calling twice.

Could you please help to get this functionality achieved or by through other way. As I need to update multiple records

    Hi D365FO Avatar,

    You will need to write a new class for this so that you can loop through the selected projects and update them to the desired value. You might also need to include validation to check the update to the selected project stage is permitted as per the current stage of the selected projects.

    Hi Gunjan,

    Thanks for the response.

    where should I call this class, as I m override the Clicked method of the menu item function but as they are not working s required.

    Now there is one more way to create a button and call a class which create a dialog for these required stages, but here also the question is how can I display the required lookup of project stages in that dialog form.

    Hi D365FO Avatar,

    All the stages are already present as menu item buttons under the menu button CtrlStages. So, there is no need for a dialog to display these. But, the options will be shown as per the highlighted project record that you are trying to update.

    As for the class you could try duplicating the ProjStatusUpd class and change the code to so that it could handle updating multiple records instead of a single record.

    Hi Gunjan,

    By duplicating ProjStatusUpd class, I have add multiselection code in its main() but still there are many errors are coming as there are many other classes which are been used in ProjStatusUpd class. So to overcome this issue, I have extends the duplicated class with ProjStatusUpd but still there are some protected and private methods which are giving issues.
