Posted on by S. Hossain 90

I have some code below by which I am opening quick create form for entities if enabled but if not enabled I want to open in new window. I need to identify the entity has enabled quick create form or not on definition and how to do it by Javascript?

var entityFormOptions = {};
entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "contact";
entityFormOptions["useQuickCreateForm"] = true;
// will make it true if quick create form not enabled
entityFormOptions["openInNewWindow"] = false;
// Set default values for the Contact form var formParameters = {}; 
// Open the form. 
Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then( function (success) { console.log(success); }, function (error) { console.log(error); });

    Hello,

    You can query the web api for this information. Something like

    https://<yourCrmOrgUrl>/api/data/v9.1/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='<entityName>')?$select=IsQuickCreateEnabled

    For example on a CRM Online Organization this would look like

    raduc5.api.crm4.dynamics.com/.../EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='account')?$select=IsQuickCreateEnabled

    There in the response you will have the value for this flag

    {

    @odata.context: "raduc5.api.crm4.dynamics.com/.../v9.1$metadata#EntityDefinitions(IsQuickCreateEnabled)/$entity",

    IsQuickCreateEnabled: true,

    MetadataId: "70816501-edb9-4740-a16c-6a5efbc05d84"

    }

    Hi

    Please see below as to how you could check if Quick Create is enabled. Please remember to set your entity logical name, highlighted in red.

    function isQuickCreateEnabled(executionContext)
    {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("GET", globalContext.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.1/EntityDefinitions?$select=IsQuickCreateEnabled&$filter=LogicalName eq 'account'", true);
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\"");
    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (this.readyState === 4) {
    req.onreadystatechange = null;
    if (this.status === 200)
    {
    debugger;

    var results = JSON.parse(this.response);
    if (test.value[0].IsQuickCreateEnabled) {
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Quick Create is Enabled");
    }
    else
    {
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Quick Create is not Enabled");
    }

    } else
    {
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
    }
    }
    };
    req.send();
    };
