Error replacing Xrm.Page with executionContext.getFormContext

Posted on by passaia

Hi,
I'm trying to replace the Xrm.Page collection in a script that fires on loading cases, in order to switch to the new Unified Interface. As documentation say, I enabled the flag to pass the execution context as the first parameter, and in the function I added the executionContext in input. I still can't retrieve the value of any of the case fields, the error I receive is "getAttribute is not a function"

The function code is the follow:

function form_onload(executionContext) {
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
alert(formContext.getAttribute("incidentid").getValue());
}

I tried with this way too:

executionContext.getFormContext.ui.controls.get

but it still give me an error:Cannot read property 'controls' of undefined

Can someone help me please?

Thanks
Passaia

Hi,

Can you try to replace incidentid with any other field which is available on the form like below I am getting ticket number field.

function form_onload(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

alert(formContext.getAttribute("ticketnumber").getValue());

}

I don't think primary field of an entity will be available on the form.

Hi passaia,

If you want to get id od the current record, you need use following code:

function getId(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var incident= formContext.data.entity.getId().replace('{', '').replace('}', ''); alert(incident); }

Test:

Hello,

Are you talking about Active Stage Id from BPF? In this case following should work:

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var stageId = formContext.data.process.getActiveStage().getId();

You can check following articles as references:

docs.microsoft.com/.../getactivestage

docs.microsoft.com/.../formcontext-data-process

Hi passaia,

You can use following code to get stage id and stage name when you move next stage every time.

And you just add the js to the form onload event.

function formonload() { Xrm.Page.data.process.addOnStageChange(getStage); // Trigger the function when move to next stage. getStage(); } function getStage() { var activeStage = Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveStage(); var stageId = activeStage.getId(); var stagename = activeStage.getName(); alert("stageId is:" stageId , "stagename is:" stagename); }
