RE: Determine whether the current record is a new record on Form Load

hi.. this is the community, not the support team

is this within CRM or the Portals?

if it is CRM you can get by the getFormType: docs.microsoft.com/.../getformtype

if it is Portal you actually have in your Entity Form if it is an insert or update.. so you already know the information.. not sure what's the issue

var formContext = ExecutionContextObj.getFormContext(); // ExecutionContextObj is the event executioncontext

if(formContext.ui.getFormType()==1) // 1 is for create

{

}

Hi Anil,

What do you mean by new record? A record that was recently created? You can get the record 'createdon' and get the current date and time then compare.

You can also use getFormType. If the form is "Create" = New or "Update" = existing.

You can refer to this microsoft page for more info.

docs.microsoft.com/.../getformtype
