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

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.

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