Javascript, run code after save

Posted on by martingr 600

Hi!

We have the following code that runs when we click a button: 

function followUpTask(duration) {
debugger;
//check for not saved form

if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() == 1 && followup == false) {
Xrm.Page.data.entity.save(true);
followupduration = duration;
followup = true;
return;
}
else if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty()) {

Xrm.Page.data.entity.save(true);
followupduration = duration;
followup = true;
return;
}

If the else if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty()) statement is true the form saves but following code

followupduration = duration;
followup = true;

will not run... We have to click the button once more for the code to run. Is there a way we can change this so the code runs after the form is saved?

Thanks for help!

    Hi ,

    When you write code inside (form type ==1 ) that means piece of code will be executed at the time of load of create form. Once you saved that means the create form will convert as a update form . So you need to put (form type ==2 ) in the condition statement .In that case the code will every-time on onload of any created record / modify record.

    Hi Martin ,

    You can create two function one is for Button Click and another is for onload when record being saved and load update form. Here is sample -

            // Fire this function in the onload , Make sure you define/assign  the variable value inside the function
        function followUpTask(duration) {
            debugger;
            //check for not saved form
            if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() == 1 && followup == false) { // Button click it will check if form tyoe is Create
                Xrm.Page.data.save().then(successSubmitCallback(), errorSubmitCallback()); // Fire success call back once save
                return;
            }
        }

        function successSubmitCallback() {
            followupduration = duration;
            followup = true;
        }

        function errorSubmitCallback() {
            // Handle error for any type of issue if onsave fails
        }


        //Trigger this function in the form onlaod , Make sure you define the variable value inside the function
        function OnloadForm() {
            if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() == 2) { // Check when form is update form
                followupduration = duration;
                followup = true;
            }
        }

    Use addMessageToOnPostSave
     
    formContext.data.entity.addOnPostSave(myFunction);
     

    The flaw with the other answers talking about formType =1 on create, and then it's formType = 2 on the subsequent onload. Yeah, that can work in some scenarios.  But what if they hit Save & Close?  Hmmm!  Anyway, now we have addMessageToOnPostSave, so it doesn't matter.
