Hi,

I am trying to save an entity form but the form is in Read-Only state(Inactive) how can I achieve this, as the issue is that few of the fields are not saved due to which it is not reflected in Database & in views(CRM).

Xrm.Page.data.entity.save(); is not working.

Thanks

Prashant Verma

Hi All,

Thank you for replying.. yes I cannot update untill the record is activated. I am using console application to achieve the purpose, but was just curious if I can do it from front-end.

Thanks

Hi Prashant ,

As far as I know you can not update the record until and unless you activate the record .

Hi Prashant,

In this case - the best practice would be to use a simple workflow.

1. Create a workflow

2. use change status option and change the record to Active

3. Update the fields and again deactivate the workflow.
