Hi Guys,

I have a query regarding HTML webresource.

For CRM v8.2, We have created a HTML webresource and added the same in the form. This webresource read a field data from the Current form and filter data accordingly in HTML. For reading data we are using below code

window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue();

As per my knowledge CRM v9.0 has deprecated Xrm.page.getAttribute. So can any one whats the alternative way to read data from the current form in HTML webresource.

Regards,
Sourav

Hi Sourav,

Please find below code -

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get formContext // use formContext instead of Xrm.Page var firstName = formContext.getAttribute("firstname").getValue(); var lastName = formContext.getAttribute("lastname").getValue();

Hi Sourav,

Xrm.Page has been replaced by ExecutionContext.getFormContext

Can see this for more details:

Why you are passing html web resource . You can create another js web resource and add reference js web resource to your html. I mean seperate js and HTML.

Yes i have created a HTML webresource and a JS web resource. Added this JS web resources in Script tag of HTML. Since JS is added in the HTML webresource, i believe i cant get executionContext object.

@Fun Wei Jie: Thanks for the response but i am looking for CRM v9 version.

RE: Access Form data in HTML Webresources

Ho Sourav,

You are correct , executionContext is only for form and you will not get the executionContext in your HTML web resource , so there is no way to use new formContext in html web resource or we can say Dynamics 365 does not support formcontext inside HTML webresource.

Microsoft says that Xrm.Page will be deprecated but not yet so you can use Xrm.Page in your HTML web resource until official announcement. You can refer below msdn reference -

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/clientapi-form-context

There is no issue as Microsoft never said not to use Xrm.Page in HTML web resource rather Microsoft says that you can use. You can refer below msdn reference

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/webpage-html-web-resources

So In summary use Xrm.Page in HTML web resource and there is no alternate solution provided by Microsoft till now. You should replace Xrm.Page with formContext those JavaScript function are communicating with the OOB form itself.

So thanks to raise the issue in community. Now seems all confusion has gone ;) .
