I have the below js code i used in the button using ribbon benchwork and i want automatically to update the status field to completed if users clicks on that button , but it is not working.

function (executioncontext) {
"use strict";
var formContext = executioncontext.getFormContext();

if (formContext !== null) {

formContext.getControl('azmdc_AZstatus').setValue === 100000003; // AZstatus is a choice column and itx value 100000003 = completed

}

im not sure if above code correct to update the field, please let me know if need to change anything here. thanks

You need to use formContext.getAttribute('azmdc_AZstatus').setValue(100000003)

HI,

If you are adding the button on Form then you need pass execution context as described in below link:

https://d365demystified.com/2020/09/22/pass-execution-context-to-js-script-function-as-a-parameter-from-a-ribbon-button-in-dynamics-365-ribbon-workbench/

Once you pass this you will able to get the formcontext and above code will work.

Thanks,
Pradeep.
