Hi everyone

I'm getting following error from custom ribbon button:

"Unable to get property 'getFormContext' of undefined or null reference"

js code:

var Sdk = window.Sdk || {};
(function () {

this.startclock = function (executionContext) {
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var triggervalue = formContext.getAttribute("acc1_startclocktrigger");
var notice = formContext.getAttribute("acc1_wfnotice");
var oldvalue = triggervalue.getValue();
var newvalue = ++oldvalue;
triggervalue.setValue(newvalue);
notice.setValue("0");
formContext.data.entity.save();
}

}).call(Sdk);

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

Decio

Hi Decio ,

Please make sure you are pissing execution context and the function calling using namespace like below.

Hi Decio,

On UCI, please use var executionContext = primaryControl, instead of var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext().

We can get the form field values properties using executionContext itself in Dynamics 365.

var executionContext = primaryControl; var triggervalue = executionContext.getAttribute("acc1_startclocktrigger");

You could refer to this article. The problem with this post is very similar to yours.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Lu Hao
