Refresh subgrid/entity list with JavaScript

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JasonMcneil 215

Hey guys,

Maybe I missed it in the documentation, but I'm looking to find out if there's a way to trigger an entity list (or subgrid on an entity form) to reload in Portals, similar to how we can within CRM?

What I'm really looking to do is have the user press a button which calls a server side function through ajax, the server side functions creates/updates some child records, and when it completes have the JavaScript callback refresh the grid to see the new/updated records.

Any thoughts?

    Hi Jason,

     not sure if you saw this article:

    community.dynamics.com/.../https-uds-systems-blog

     This does not answer the question of "how to refresh the subgrid" (well, maybe doing a page reload would work, but..), but it does describe one way of implementing that kind of portal-to-server communication.

    To get reflect the changes on the server side to portal client immediately . Enable the change tracking of the particular entity on the crm side. The refresh on the client side you can use jQuery

    On chan

    $('#new_customfield').change(function() {

    location.reload(); });

    Thanks Alex, I hadn't seen that one (though was thinking of a similar way of doing it). Was also thinking of having a Web API on the side which we could call through JS calls, but security/authentication is the hurdle I haven't yet found a good solution to. Pretty close with Azure functions using Azure B2C authentication, but can't figure out the bearer token stuff yet (security is not my forte!)

    Still looking for a way to reload a subgrid too :)

    Since we're actually using xRM portals community edition, we were able to do the server side easily enough (though thanks for the link, still investigating that aspect for MS portals options).

    And yeah we wound up just refreshing the page :( oh well, it worked good enough
