Save and Reload form or full Refresh

Hi,

I am having problem in CRM form save and refresh.

Once I save the form using javascript command Xrm.Page.data.entity.save(), the page is not refreshed. I need to full refresh the form. Because after saving all fields will be disabled, but that is not happening unless I manually reload the form again after save.

I used the Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm() command to reload after save command, but this time I am getting a popup "Your changes are not saved. are you navigate from this page". This is because the Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm() is executed even before the save operation is completed. looks the save is asynchronous.

Questions:

1. Why CRM does not reload the form automatically on save

2. How to do synchronous save using javascript command

3. Why Xrm.Page.data.entity.save().then(success, failure) is not working.

4. What is the solution to save the form, and then reload the form again.

Sounds like you may have scripts or something causing so-called "dirty fields" on save.

Try this in the browser console and see what fields you may get:

frames[0].Xrm.Page.data.entity.getDataXml();

Hi,

After calling save method on form as you are calling Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();

You need to call the Refresh Method as well it refresh the saved form and changes are done.

Xrm.Page.data.entity.refresh();

Hi Erik,

Dirty fields are modified fields. So it should be saved along with the save command right?

Hi Muhammad,

I tried the refresh command also. The fields will be read-only after I save. But after refresh command the fields are still editable. After reloading the page the fields are marked read-only.

Hi Arif,

The form is editable initially. After some field value is set to particular value and save, then all fields will be set to read-only. But after save the field is still editable. I have to reload the form to make the fields disabled.

Hi Jayakumar,

it seems form Refresh issue has resolve by using Refresh() method

Now your are facing the problems to disabled the controls you should use the following script to disabled the control Xrm.Page.getControl("fieldname").setDisabled(true);

Try to call following script onload of form this:

if(Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType()==2) //check for update

Xrm.Page.getControl("fieldname").setDisabled(true);

Thanks

How about this:

function Form_onsave() {
   . . .

   // REFRESH to display the newly exposed fields' data.
   // community.dynamics.com/.../173659
   if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty()) {
       Xrm.Page.data.save().then(function () {   // The save prevents "unsaved"-warning.
           Xrm.Page.data.refresh();
       }, null);
   }

   // Refresh the Annotation List
    . . .
}
