Hi guys,

So I have a custom qualify lead button that qualifies the lead using a js function the function requires the clientUrl and after doing some research i found out that i can get the client Url using context.getClientUrl, unfortunately i am unable to find a way in Ribbon Workbench to pass the context as a param.

Any advice is welcomed.

Pass "PrimaryControl " as command parameter. Refer to the blog post here

RE: How to pass execution context as a parameter in Ribbon Workbench

Hi Filip Vanchevski and Everyone,

For D365 CRM V.9 that implements fully the UCI (Unified Client Interface), below are the steps to pass the context as a param.

1. You have to update your ribbon workbench command to add a CRM parameter "PrimaryControl" as shown in the image below:

(If image doesn't show, then just Go to your Ribbon Workbench > Look the command that you wish to update > Then Add a CRM Parameter, the value would be "PrimaryControl")

2. In your Webresource JS code, pass the primaryControl and use it as stated below:

function QualifyLead(primaryControl) {

    var formContext = primaryControl;

    // Sample of using it to for passing an Boolean value.
    formContext.getAttribute("logicalname of your field").setValue(true);

    var globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();
    var clientUrl = globalContext.getClientUrl();
    console.log(clientUrl);

    // Some other codes that you wish to happen...

}

I have tested it and it works just fine.

Today i guess Tommy Nurwantoro answer is the most useful if you need to pass the execution context from ribbon button. To use formContext instead of Xrm.Page in v9 for example

Hi All,

What about using executionContext.getFormContext() ?

As you know Xrm.Page is deprecated.

Do you have any idea?

Edit : Solution for executionContext is here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/customize-dev/pass-dynamics-365-data-page-parameter-ribbon-actions

You just need to call

Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();

inside your JavaScript function to get URL

Filip,

I believe you can change your function and retrieve url inside of it.
