How to retrieve formContext from PrimaryControlID

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 247

Hi,

I have a ribbon button on form which is passing "PrimaryControlID" as a CRM parameter. Now I want to retrieve formcontext from it or any other way so that I can work with the attributes of the entity form to retrieve its value or set new value for that attribute. Please let me know any way or I have to change the CRM parameter from "PrimaryControlID" to "PrimaryControl". If this is the only way to pass "PrimaryControl" as a CRM Parameter then what is the way to get the ID of the record which I am using through "PrimaryControlID"

Thanks

AR

    Once you get the formcontext then using below code you will get the record GUID.

    formContext.data.entity.getId();

    Thanks,
    Pradeep.
