Dialog box message displaying when using formContext.data.save().then() or formContext.data.save()

Hi

Working with the UCI. I am trying to use the formContext.data.save() or the formContext.data.save().then().

The problem that I am having is that I am getting the following dialog box. 

I would also like to use my own Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator when saving a record.  But the save button is already displaying a ProcessIndicator when using a normal save.

Is there a way to get around the dialog box when using formContext.data.save() or formContext.data.save().then().

And can I use my own Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator when saving without using the normal save Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator.

I trying to not have to use this code when saving.

setTimeout(() => {
 callFunction(formContext);
}, 3000);

I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    In my tests I haven't encountered a similar dialog box as the one you show here when using the save client API.
    Can I advise that you open a support request? https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/support

    Also, what do you mean using your own Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator? 
    showProgressIndicator and closeProgressIndicator are both first-party client APIs.

    If you know the save action is going to take a while, have you tried triggering showProgressIndicator before triggering a save, and use closeProgressIndicator as the successCallback of your save?

    Hi Henry,

    Thanks I put in a support ticket.

    I have tried putting the showProgressIndicator before but the dialog box is showing each time.

    Support helped me resolve this issue by doing the following on a save event.

    Issue: Dialog box message displaying when using formContext.data.save().then() or formContext.data.save()

    ​Resolution: Issue is fixed by below code,

    function OnSaveEvent(executionContext, iOption) {
          var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get formContext
          formContext.getAttribute("new_instrumentid").setSubmitMode("always");
          var instrumentId = "Car Instrument";
          formContext.getAttribute("new_instrumentid").setValue(instrumentId);
    
          //Need to use the following code.  This will suppress the dialog box
          formContext.data.entity.addOnSave(function () {
    
          });
    }

    Hey Thompson,

    I am trying to do the save on one of my forms.

    I tried formContext.data.entity.addOnSave(function () {

         }); inside the save method, But I am still seeing the issue. Could you please help me with this?

    Help will be appreciated.

    Hi,

    What is actually happening.  Are you getting the Dialog box?  Data not writing.

    Can you show your code.

    I am using this on my save

    export function saveform(context)

    {
    try {


    formContext.data.entity.save("saveandclose");

    formContext.data.entity.addOnSave(function () {

    });
    }

    That fix didn't work for me. Did I miss something?
