Is it possible to do with a single javascript function? I am just wanting to update a boolean field. Basically, we will click a button in the ribbon from the grid and the field will toggle and the grid will refresh. Does any have a thought on the best way to get started or samples of code for a similar operation? Thank you.

Ben,

You can pass selected items to the function from the ribbon - ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../129783-pass-the-currently-selected-grid-row-s-to-a-custo

To update the record you can use Xrm.WebApi.updateRecord.

Hi Ben,

You can try to use other better ways to update the field for multiple selected items, which do not need any code and seems more simple than JS.

1.Bulk Edit Feature

This is ideal for those quick modifications to a smaller number of records.

(1) select records that you need modify and click edit button.

(2) A Bulk Edit form appears.

(3) update field to data that you need and click Change button, you will see following:

2.Flow.

For a number of records, you can try to use flow to achieve goal.

(1) expand Flow to create a flow.

(2) add ‘update a record’ action and set the two options field value to ‘Yes’.

(3) Click Save button.

(4) Test.

Refresh page and Select records and Expand flow to run the flow that just created.

You will see following after refresh page:

Best Regards,

Leo

Hi urklnme

In a sub-grid, the selectedcontrol is the grid context.
