Posted on by Victor Onyebuchi 390

Hi ALL,

I craeted a button on the command bar and put a javascript file beneath it, to trigger when the button is clicked. The code is below;

var submitReceipt = function (executionObj) {
			
            var formContext = executionObj.getFormContext();
			formContext.getAttribute("ntt_submittofinance").setValue(1);
			formContext.data.entity.save();
			formContext.data.refresh();
		};


I just want to set a value and then save the record. Nothing works at when the button is clicked. Please someone with experience should. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Javascript button not triggering
    Hello guys,
    I am facing exactly the same problem, i have placed my button and the java script, but nothing fires. 
    Not even an alert in the first line of the script.
     
    What did help you, finally?  I am not sure what you mean with "reposition the parameters".

    my setup in the ribbon workbench looks like this:
     
     
     
    and this is the script: 
     
    function markAsChargeable(SelectedRecords, formContext)
     alert("Script called");
    for (let i = 0; i < SelectedRecords.length; i++)
    {
        var parameters = {};
        var entity = {};
        entity.id = SelectedRecords[i];
        entity.entityType = "msdyn_invoicelinetransaction";
        parameters.entity = entity;
        // define the data to update a record
        var data = formContext.getAttribute("msdyn_billingtype").setValue(192350001);
        // update the record
        Xrm.WebApi.updateRecord("msdyn_invoicelinetransaction", SelectedRecords[i], data).then(
            function success(result)
            {
                console.log("Success");
                var gridContext = formContext.getControl("Invoice Line Detail Associated View");
                gridContext.refresh();
            },
            function (error)
            {
                console.log(error.message);
            }
        );
    }
     
     
    but.. nothing fires.   Can anybody help? 
     
    thank you,
    Ulli

    I have got this to work, i repostion the parater on in the ribbon workbench and it worked. Funny how just the position of a parameter can stop javascript from working.

    Hi,

    I would suggest try to debug your code to make sure you are getting form context. If you are not getting form context you can try to write Xrm.Page.

        var submitReceipt = function () {
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ntt_submittofinance").setValue(1);
        Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();
        Xrm.Page.data.refresh();
    };


    You can take help from below reference  getting formcontext from control  -

    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    Try to use following:

    var submitReceipt = function (formContext) {

    formContext.getAttribute("ntt_submittofinance").setValue(1);

    formContext.data.entity.save();

    formContext.data.refresh();

    };
