Hi All,

I have below code on the OnSave() event of form. i have added below code

Ad_OnSave: function (executionContext) {

formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
debugger;
var currentPreferredAddFlag = formContext.getAttribute("rcm_preferredaddressflag").getValue();
if (!SaveConfirmDialog) {
var confirmStrings;
executionContext.getEventArgs().preventDefault();
if (currentPreferredAddFlag == true) {
confirmStrings = { text: "The Preferred address Flag = Yes. Do you want to continue?", confirmButtonLabel: "Yes", cancelButtonLabel: "Cancel"};
}
else {
confirmStrings = { text: "The Preferred address Flag = No. Do you want to continue?", confirmButtonLabel: "Yes", cancelButtonLabel: "Cancel"};
}
confirmOptions = { height: 100, width: 200 };
Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog(confirmStrings, confirmOptions).then(
function (success) {
if (success.confirmed) {
//Do something on click of OK.
formContext.data.entity.save();
SaveConfirmDialog = true;
}
else {
SaveConfirmDialog = false;
}
});
}
SaveConfirmDialog = false;

},

After Adding this code its working for save button to save the record. but for Save and close button It doesnt work its saving the record but not closing the form.

Can anybody suggest what is the problem?.

RE: Save & close button not working . it only saves the record but does not close the form.

What about something like this (or similar. not going into details)

Ad_OnSave: function (executionContext) { formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); if (!SaveConfirmDialog) { executionContext.getEventArgs().preventDefault(); //this one would be your function for the confirm dialog, returning the promise openConfirmDialog().then(function(success){ if (success.confirmed) { SaveConfirmDialog = true; formContext.data.entity.save(); } else{ SaveConfirmDialog = false; } }); } SaveConfirmDialog = false; }

While the ribbon button for save&Close would be something like this

function mySaveAndClose(){ //first call the confirmation openConfirmDialog().then(function(success){ if(success.confirmed){ SaveConfirmDialog = true; formContext.data.entity.save("saveandclose"); //it won't make the confirmation again in onSave, so no preventDefault } }); }

But besides that, is pretty dangerous to work with that type of confirmations in OnSave, since several saves triggered in parallel by the code (maybe in combination with button), or in case autosave is started, it may mess up your flags.

Maybe is better to work with a boolean dummy attribute on the form, set in on required, and set in on empty if the confirmation wasn't made. This way the form stops saving by itself until the confirmation is done (and the dummy field is set).

Or maybe try to make use of field-level notification, since it stops the form save too.

Kind regards,

Diana

Hi Ju

If i use second approach then it closes the form in both the cases For ¨Save¨ as well as for ¨Save and Close¨.

I only want form to be close in case of Save and Close.

Hi Ju.

The first approach u said is to use : formContext.data.entity.save("saveandclose");

that means instead of formContext.data.entity.save() i need to use formContext.data.entity.save("saveandclose");

right?

Hi Mona,

You use preventDefault() to Disable auto-save for the form in the code, By this, Save & Close function does not go inside Success call back so form will not close.

So you can use js function to save and close the form:

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

Or you can try to test with following:

you can Go Ribbon workbench to customize “Save & Close” button command, Then create below function in JS web resource and call this from “Save & Close” button instead of OOB function.

function OnSaveAndClose(executionContext) { Xrm.Page.data.save().then(function () { Xrm.Page.ui.close(); }, function (error) { }); }
