Before wave 2 update, below javascript code was opening the new form in pop-up window. But after the update, the same logic is forcing to open the form in new tab in the browser. Is this behavior is part of wave 2 changes?

function openNewRecord(entityType, recordid, parameters) {
try {

   var entityFormOptions = {
      entityName: entityType,
      entityId: recordid,
      openInNewWindow: true,
      navbar: "off",
      };

Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, parameters);
}
catch (ex) {
//error log
}
}

The parameter openInNewWindow: true is forcing now to open a form in new tab instead of opening it in pop up window.

Our requirement is to open the form in pop up window only.

Hi Pratik,

Microsoft has made some changes as part of their oct release. So, now to achieve this we need to set height & width.

Hi RahulSunilDesai,

We encountered the same issue and solved it by adding height and width parameters to the entityFormOptions.

Can you please check by updating your entityFormOptions variable as below:

var entityFormOptions = {

entityName: entityType,

entityId: recordid,

openInNewWindow: true,

navbar: "off",

height: 100,

width: 100

};

Hi Rahul

Is this irrespective of browser setting of how to open a new link? Could you check the settings?

Is this browser specific? Could you please check for IE if you have already tested on Chrome?

Also, there are known cases where discrepancy occurs. Read links below:

Hope this helps.
