Posted on by Jitendra Sahu 2

Hi Devs,

I have added a new button on Command Bar of a form and want to open a new record of different entity when user will click on this button.

Can you suggest me how can I get the data of any field displaying on the form.

    To open a new form you will need to add new javascript web resource. Then within this javascript create a function that is used by the button. The following code is an example of the function you will need to create.

    function openNewAccount() {

      var parameters = {};

      parameters["formid"] = "b053a39a-041a-4356-acef-ddf00182762b";

      parameters["name"] = "Test";

      parameters["telephone1"] = "(425) 555-1234";

      Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("account", null, parameters);

    }

    So obviously you will need to substitute in your entity name and the field you want to populate.

    See msdn.microsoft.com/.../72a66f93-92df-42b9-a8fd-b6125c7fe83b for more info.
