Modify your js like below &Try adding your js in the form

function callRibbonButton(executionContext) {

    var attribute = executionContext.getEventSource();

   var fieldName = attribute.getName();

    var control = Xrm.Page.getControl(fieldName);

}

Refer below for how to pass context as first parameter in js

Hope this helps

Hi,Context is coming as "undefined " even after adding the JS Library into Form,

You would need to get the context from within the function. The ribbon button does not have a parameter for execution context.

Inside your function you can use Xrm.Page.context to get the context.

If that's not it, please describe what you are trying to do.

Are you already using Dynamics 365 v9?

We have not upgraded yet to the new client side model for our solutions (mostly on D365 8.2), but this should still work on v9 as well.

For v9, you could be using Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext:

docs.microsoft.com/.../getglobalcontext

We call a lot of actions from ribbon buttons, and are using the process.js library:

github.com/.../processjs

Hope this helps.

hi RK,

I dnt think it will be removed immediately . Still you can use it to get form metadata. Please find the below article for better clarity.

I have resolved the issue where we were not able to pass the form context through ribbon button. As Xrm.page is going to be deprecated , we can use following approach to get it done.

Reference URL : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/customize-dev/pass-dynamics-365-data-page-parameter-ribbon-actions

Note :Pass "PrimaryControl " as command parameter and use the same parameter in the java script function as first argument.

Use Following to get the form attribute : formContext.getFormContext().getAttribute("fullname").getValue();

This solution has worked for me. i hope this will work for you as well.

Regards
