Infinite Loop on OnLoad with openForm

Ahoy,

When I attach the below code on the OnLoad event of the form, it creates an infinite loop. The form that the code navigates to does not have the below code on it. Any ideas how to not make this loop? window.open also gets ignored.

function switchContactForm(executionContext) {

	var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
	
	var formOptions = {};

	formOptions["entityName"] = "contact";

	formOptions["entityId"] = formContext.data.entity.getId();	
	
	formOptions["formid"] = "";

	Xrm.Navigation.openForm(formOptions);
};

I have the same question (0)

Hello,

To break infinite loop you should analyze current form that is opened. You can try something like:

function switchContactForm(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var formId = ""; var currentFormId = formContext.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getId(); if (formId === currentFormId) { return; } var formOptions = {}; formOptions["entityName"] = "contact"; formOptions["entityId"] = formContext.data.entity.getId(); formOptions["formid"] = formId; Xrm.Navigation.openForm(formOptions); }

Yeah! I tried doing this, but it just keeps looping. It knows its not the right form, and as I mentioned, the other form doesn't have this javascript on it's OnLoad condition.

Both modifications return an infinite loop. the second modification shows "I'm navigating" in the infinite loop.

if (formContext.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getId() == myFormId) { console.log("I'm returning"); return; } Xrm.Navigation.openForm(formOptions);

if (formContext.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getId() != myFormId) { console.log("I'm navigating"); Xrm.Navigation.openForm(formOptions); } return;

Can you please provide the Id that you use in the code? I believe the reason is in formatting.

I'm afraid your guid is wrong. Here is the online checker - http://guid.us/Test/GUID...

Your string is not a guid and I believe that's what wrong...

My recommendation - add alert(formContext.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getId()); into your code and you will get proper id of your form and you will be able to use it after. BTW ctrl+c work fine to copy guid from alert dialog.

Good luck.

Nope, no dice. The GUID is a correct one. Evidenced by pasting it in the URL to a web address, copying it (using Control + C) and pasting it (Control + V), and it matches the console.log as well. Additionally, it would not have worked in the if statement conditions you suggested earlier.

It seems to just keep opening itself over and over again because of this OnLoad condition. It actually isn't navigating to the other form, which I did try in an URL to check to see if that GUID is in fact the right targeted form. Are there any permissions or other things that could telling it "No thanks"?

Hello partner,

Infinity loop is caused by the fact you are passing the wrong parameter to your formOptions object. Please refer to the code.

function switchContactForm(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var formOptions = {}; formOptions["entityName"] = "contact"; formOptions["entityId"] = formContext.data.entity.getId(); //use formId not formid haha =) //formOptions["formid"] = ""; formOptions["formId"] = ""; Xrm.Navigation.openForm(formOptions); }
