Posted on by Deeps 1,875

Hi

I have put custom button on command bar name Clone Opportunity. I have created an action that will clone the opportunity. I will call this action from custom button. How do I return newly created opportunity record ID in Action. What data type of output variable do I create and how do i set its value?

    Hi,

    You would need to use the Entity Reference as the data type for your output parameter which can be set by Assign step.

    Refer following links-

    Hi, Just as Ravi said you can use an EntityReference, or even a string containing the Guid of your newly created record.

    You would then need to loop in your success callback function through the list of parameters, and get the result that you are passing back from the action.

    If you use process.js to call your actions, then your logic would look something like this:

       Process.callAction(messageName, inputParams,

       function (params) {

           // This is your success result, where you would get the Guid of your action from

           var result = "";

           for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {

               result = params[i].key + "=" + params[i].value + ";";

           }

           alert(result);

       },

       function (e, t) {

           // Error

       });

    You can find process.js here:
