Power Portal Apps Entity Form Custom JavaScript not changing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by lgretz 20

Hi all, 

I've been working in Dynamics portals with Entity Forms. The goal is to read the parameters from the URL and fill out the form based on those parameters. My issue is using the custom javascript field under the Additional Settings tab on the entity form. 

I did an alert("test"); saved, checked and then saw it worked! However, when I went to add other things the code, only the test alert is showing up. I've also cleared my cache and history but no luck. 

Looking for a solution or tutorial to updating/using custom javascript with entity forms. Thanks!!

    My guess is you are running into caching.  The new Portal caching mechanism doesn't automatically invalidate the cache when changes are made to certain entities (like Entity Form) via the Model-Driven App.

    This is actually the topic of my blog post this week.  For more details, and for how to clear the cache:

    Hope that helps.
