Force Refresh after Form Save

Hello,

I am trying to force refreshing a form after saving it to display the results of the workflow on the form. But I always get a javascript error. I tried to run the following line on the form properties with no success:


Xrm.Page.data.refresh(save).then(successCallback, errorCallback);



I have MS Dynamics CRM 2016 (On-Premise). How can I resolve this?. Thanks

Hmm let's try adding the function onLoad, being sure to pass the execution context as the first parameter. If you get the error again, try changing (true) to (false) on the formContext.data.refresh method.

function onLoad(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.data.entity.addOnPostSave(refreshForm(executionContext)); } function refreshForm(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.data.refresh(true); }

You'll need both functions. The refreshForm function is called by the onSave function when the onSave event occurs. Let me know how it goes!

Ah, I'm sorry, my answer was partly wrong. The reason you're getting that error is that it's trying to save twice at the same time - once when you click Save and once during the function called onSave.

One option is to change it to formContext.data.refresh(false). This won't save form for the refresh. However, I believe this may refresh BEFORE the save action is completed, meaning you may lose data.

Another option is to use the addOnPostSave method. This adds a function to be called AFTER the save event is completed. For example:

function onSave(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.data.entity.addOnPostSave(refreshForm); } function refreshForm(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.data.refresh(true); }

On save, this will add the refreshFrom function the the Post Save event, which will then fire and refresh the form after the save is complete. You can change the (true) to (false) in the refresh method if you don't want the form to save again, but in my experience I often get a pop up asking to save if it's set to (false), so I just leave it at (true).

Oh I gotcha. Create a Javascript web resource with a function that's called on your desired event. For example:

function onSave(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

formContext.data.refresh(true)

}

Have you tried formContext.data.refresh(true) ? This will save your form and then refresh it as if you'd clicked the Refresh ribbon button.
