Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm not working for Customer data type for custom entities

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Mridula 275

Hello,

I am trying to set the foreign key of type Customer using following way.

parameters["new_customer"] = "D6EDEADA-EED4-E711-A949-000D3A308373";
parameters["new_customertype"] = "account";
parameters["new_customername"] = "test";

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

While the same code works fine for System entities, it throws following error for Custom entities.

"System.InvalidOperationException: CRM Parameter Filter - Invalid parameter 'new_customertype=account'"

Did anyone else faced the same?

    Hi,

    I am not sure about exact issue.. Recently I worked on this.. I wrote syntax like following.. You can try it..

    function OpenEvent() {
       if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty()) {
           alert("One or more fields are modified. Please save the form.");
           return;
       }
       var thisEvent = {
           entityType: "Entity Logical Name"
       };
       var windowOptions = {
           openInNewWindow: true
       };
       var parameters = {};
       //your parameters
       Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(thisEvent.entityType, null, parameters, windowOptions);
    }

    Hope it helps you.

    Best regards,

    Shivaram.
