Hi partner,

This method is uesd to feresh the parent form and it is a normal JS menthod, we do not recommend you to use normal js in D365 form.

If you want to refresh form in D365 form, you could use the following ways.

1. formContext.data.refresh(save).then(successCallback, errorCallback);

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/formcontext-data/refresh

2.Xrm.Navigation.openForm

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/xrm-navigation/openform

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Leo

Hi,

I used openForm to relaod the page but the BPF is not displaying.

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var entityFormOptions = {};
entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "knowledgearticle";
entityFormOptions["entityId"] = formContext.data.entity.getId();

// Open the form.
Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions).then(
function (success) {
console.log(success);
},
function (error) {
console.log(error);

Thanks.

Hi partner,

I tried the same code in my instance and it worked well.

function openFormWithBPF(executionContext) {

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

    var entityFormOptions = {};

    entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "new_customtestentity";

    var id = formContext.data.entity.getId();

    entityFormOptions["entityId"]=id.substring(1,id.length-1);

    //entityFormOptions["entityId"]="34B4E699-8432-EA11-A810-000D3A579C9D";

    //entityFormOptions["processId"]="1b3844a3-25e9-42f4-aade-53af15108d1f";

    // Open the form.

    Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions).then(

        function (success) {

            console.log(success);

        },

        function (error) {

            console.log(error);

        })

}

Please confirm that did you add the BPF to your app first? Could you share more details about your situation?

Best Regards,

Leo

I don't see how this answers the question. This formcontext method is for the current form not a quick create form's parent, right?
