Capture value change for a step in business process flow stage

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by svignesh 347

I want to move to next stage automatically in a business process flow when a user selects particular value for a step. The below snippet moves the process to the next  stage

function nextStage(){

console.log("moved")

}

parent.Xrm.Page.data.process.moveNext(nextStage())


Now I want this to happen when a value in a step changes For example when user selects "Form submission" for a step called "Request status", i want the process to move to the next stage. How can I capture the action when user selects a value for the "Request status" step?

    Hi Vicky,

    1. You ensure that you add this field to your form (you can set this field invisible)/

    2. Just add OnChange event to this field to set data.process.moveNext(nextStage())

    This event will be called automatically in the step of business process.

    Hello Pham,

    Thanks, I added a hidden field and attached to on change event and it calls the function.

    But it is throwing the below error

    Refused to set unsafe header "Content-Length"

    However, if i have the console open, it is working as expected

    Any idea of how to handle this?

    Hi Vicky,

    Please try to set it visible to test first.

    Could you please share all the message that you are facing with and code for reviewing?

    Hello Pham,

    below is my code

    function nextStage(){

    console.log(" case moved to next stage");

    }

    function caseStatusChange(){

    parent.Xrm.Page.data.process.moveNext(nextStage());

    };

    I have attached caseStatusChange to onchangeevent. It works when I have console open, otherwise it throws the error "Refused to set unsafe header "Content-Length"

    Hello Pham,

    Can you please provide a sample

    setting to some variable and then call the function?

    var something = parent.Xrm.Page.data.process;

    and then do something.moveNext() ?

    Hi Vicky,

    I tested this method and it has been worked for me.

    /// <reference path="XrmPageTemplate.js" />

    function goToNextStage() {

       //Get Actibe Stage of current record

       var activeStage = Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveStage();

       Xrm.Page.data.process.moveNext(function sucessCallBack(result) {

           alert(result);

       });

    }

    In the case, you should consider, this method is only work if form is not dirtyform status.

    Your form have to be "Unsave Change" status, then it will work, it just my work around for it. In some case, you could also use Xrm.Page.data.process.SetActiveStage method.

    Hello Pham,

    Thanks for the help

    its says DirtyForm when I select a value that is not default value.

    But when I change the dropdown to default value, its changing the stage

    Any idea of what the error might be?

    Hi Vicky,

    It is the problem. Because this event just happen when your form is at "Unsave Change".

    In this case, you maybe optimize your code. You can settime out and then recall the movenext method.

    Yes Pham,

    I tried a setTimeout of 1000ms but it is not saving the form.

    Is there a way to save the form using XRM?

    its working when I goto next stage, come back to this stage and change the value

    Thanks for the help Pham

    I am able to get it working, below is the code

    function caseStatusChange(){
parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();
setTimeout(function(){
try{
console.log("trying to change");
 var activeStage = Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveStage();
   Xrm.Page.data.process.moveNext(function sucessCallBack(result) {
       console.log(result);
   });
}
catch(ex){
console.log("error in stage movement");
}
},1000);

};
