I wanted to check if there is any supported way to do the below scenario.

I have few fields on a form and when the user tries to input the data and doesn't save the form and tries to navigate away from the form I wanted to show a custom message to the user on those field changes and inform user didn't save. i am aware that a default message is displayed but looking for some custom message option.

To my knowledge, there are no supported methods other than the standard events the form: onload and onsave, or fields/tabs events.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Charles ! This helps me. I understand that we can identify the form Dirty fields,but am not sure on what form event I can trigger this . I wanted to check when user moves away from the form. Any help is appreciated.!!!

Hi GPrasanna,

You can use the function Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty().

Have a look at this link for more details on how to get if the form is changed and what fields are changed:

Hope this helps!
