Ribbon Workbench Display Rule with JavaScript

Report

Posted on by MangeH73

Hello. Since xrm.page has been depricated I try to move over to using ExecutionContext instead but I run into problem.

In the display rule I have added a crm parameter with primaryControl

The javascript fails on: var formContext = parentControl.getFormContext();

And the beginning of the javascript looks like:

function IsCurrentUserOwner(parentControl)

{

var formContext = parentControl.getFormContext();

var owner= formContext.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue();

var ownerID = owner[0].id;

var userId = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

if (ownerID == userId ) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

}

Can someone point out what I have missed?

Hello ,

You should use Enable rule , as far as know display rule does not support Client Side script.. Check here how to pass primary control-

Hi,

Now you can get formContext from this parameter as easily as if it were the executionContext.

If you are calling this for a button on the Home or SubGrid ribbons, then your code will look like this:

function run(primaryControl) { var formContext = primaryControl.getFormContext(); // get formContext var firstName = formContext.getAttribute("firstname").getValue(); var lastName = formContext.getAttribute("lastname").getValue(); console.log(firstName + " " + lastName); }

And if you are calling this for a button on the Form ribbon, you can use primaryControl as if it were the formContext:

function run(primaryControl) { var formContext = primaryControl; // rename as formContext var firstName = formContext.getAttribute("firstname").getValue(); var lastName = formContext.getAttribute("lastname").getValue(); console.log(firstName + " " + lastName); }

You can see how it work Check below link

Hello,

To pass in the execution context (form context or grid context) information to JavaScript function for your ribbon actions, specify PrimaryControl for the form context, or SelectedControl for the grid context as the <CrmParameter> value in your ribbon definition. SelectedControl will pass in the grid context, for both subgrids and homepage grids. The passed in PrimaryControl or the SelectedControl value is used as an argument in your JavaScript function for form context or grid context respectively.

So you do not need to get form context from primary control object. PrimaryControl itself is a formContext

All you need to do is the below:

var formContext = parentControl;

THis is how it looks in ribbon workbench.,

If I have:

function IsCurrentUserOwner(primaryControl)
{
alert("1");
var formContext = primaryControl;
alert("2");
var owner= formContext.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue();
alert("3");
var ownerID = owner[0].id;

var userId = formContext.context.getUserId();

if (ownerID == userId ) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

}

it does an alert("2"); but not an alert("3);

If I have

function IsCurrentUserOwner(primaryControl)
{
alert("1");
var formContext = primaryControl;
alert("2");
var owner= formContext.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue();
alert("3");
var ownerID = owner[0].id;

var userId = formContext.context.getUserId();

if (ownerID == userId ) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

}

It does an alert("1") but never an alert("2");

An alert(primaryControl) shows undefined So I guess that javascript is not the main source of the problem.

I removed the parameter in Ribbon workbench and added it back, and suddenly I started to get the parameter to not be undefined.
