Hi Experts,

I want to create record of a custom entity in JavaScript which I am able to do but I also want to send Form Id into it.

How can I do that?

e.g. For entity X, I have two forms "Main1" and "Main2"

Scenario:

if(condition){

Create record of entity X with form "Main1"

}

else{

Create record of entity X with form "Main2"

}

Code:

I am using code something like this

var objectValues= new Object();

SDK.REST.createRecord(objectValues, "<EntityName>", callBackFuction, function (error) { alert(error.message); });

RE: Send Form Id id in Create Record command

Thanks all for the suggestions. I solved it doing following.

I created new field on the form.

While creating entity record, I set that variable to some unique value.

I created 2 different forms

On form load I added js code to check variable data

and according to the data I change form navigation

Hi ,

There is no parameter to pass form id in createRecord method , this is only for Opening any record like OpenEntityForm . Is there any specific reason you are passing form id in create record ?

If you still want to pass form id you can create a text field in the entity fill it the "objectValues" parameter , you can hard code the form id without any issue.

Hi ,

Actually while creating record in CRM it never affect with form because form is not part of attributes. In other way if you want to open that record into two different form then you need to create one flag/option set with respective form name.

While opening that record you can check flag to open form.
