Hi All,

I am new on Dynamics 365. I want to save data that is captured on one page, I have read that I need to use Xrm.Page.data.entity.save(). Now my problem is that I do not know where to put it on on my page. Can someone please point me to the right direction or show mw how to use it?

Kind Regards

Hi,

Yes, you can force a save of your form using JS code.

To learn how to develop JS scripts for Dynamics forms, I suggest you follow this tutorial: docs.microsoft.com/.../walkthrough-write-your-first-client-script

Then you can trigger your save with the formContext.data.save() method. You can refer to the following documentation: docs.microsoft.com/.../save

Also, if you want to cancel the standard save of the form and keep only the save you want to implement, it is recommended to use the preventDefault() function:

docs.microsoft.com/.../preventdefault

Hi,

You need to use JavaScript coding to call these APIs. You can choose to trigger by adding an event：

docs.microsoft.com/.../configure-event-handlers-legacy

Or choose to add a button and add a JavaScript event to trigger.

If this helped you, I'd appreciate it if you'd mark this as a Verified Answer, which may in turn help others as well.

Best Regards,
