Error with formContext

Posted on by wperkinson3

I am getting an error when I try to call the following function from Dynamics 365 (CRM ver 9.0)

function addTask(executionContext) {
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm('task', null, {
pId: formContext.data.entity.getId().replace(/{|}/g, ''),
pType: Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap[formContext.data.entity.getEntityName()],
pName: formContext.getAttribute('name').getValue()
});
}

Using browser debugger, I captured the following error:

TypeError: Unable to get property 'EntityTypeName2CodeMap' of undefined or null reference
 at addTask

I am not seeing what is causing the problem.

Try this:

function addTask(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm('task', null, { pId: formContext.data.entity.getId().replace(/{|}/g, ''), pType: formContext.data.entity.getEntityName(), pName: formContext.getAttribute('name').getValue() }); }

It should work. Not sure from where you copied "Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap"

Hi,

You should start to change the JS format as well since you are using crm online.

Hi,

It seems you are trying to open a new task form and populating the account. You could try this (pass the typecode manuall i.e. 1

function addTask(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm('task', null, {

pId: formContext.data.entity.getId().replace(/{|}/g, ''),

pType: 1,

pName: formContext.getAttribute('name').getValue()

});

}

Also, ensure that you are passing the formxcontext when you register the method.

Hope this helps.
