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.

Hello,

Try to use following:

var submitReceipt = function (formContext) {

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

formContext.data.entity.save();

formContext.data.refresh();

};

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 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
