Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have 3 main forms in the account entity. I also have a custom field called "form name" in each form. How can I save the form name to the custom field? It doesn't matter whether its onload or onsave. Does anyone have the javascript function for the same?

Thanks in advance.

One more thing please make sure you are opening the same form in which you have entered this code. In your case you need to out this code in all three forms.

Try to see are you getting the form name in alert

function SetFormName(){

debugger;

var formName = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getLabel();

alert(formName);

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_customField").setValue(formName );

}

Note:I have tested its working fine.

Put an alert line to check whether issue is in your function or some other script. Please debug the code.

These are the steps I followed but it doesn't seem to work.. Am i doing something wrong here? Excuse me I'm a rookie at the moment.

First I went to form properties

Then I clicked on add in form libraries

Then I created a new web resource

Then I entered the following info

Then I wrote the following code

Finally I saved and published everything.

However it doesnt seem to work...

Please help. Thanks in advance. :)

Call the below JS on Save or onChange

function SetFormName(){

var formName = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getLabel();

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_customField").setValue(formName );

}

Hope this works
