Hi,
I have an Account entity with Contacts Grid, I placed Custom Button, I selected Contact records from Grid and on Custom button click,
I need to Open an Email with the selected contacts in To field.
I am able to retrieve the Guids of the contact , but I am not not able to iterate loop and send the selected contacts as parameters to the Email record using openEntityForm.
Hi,
Try below code for your requirement.

function OpenQuickCreateemail(selectedItems)
{
var partylist = [];
if (selectedItems.length == 1) {
OpenQuickCreateemailsingleRecorde(selectedItems);
}
else
{
for (var indxIds = 0; indxIds < selectedItems.length; indxIds )
{
partylist[i] = new Object();
partylist[i].id = selectedItems[indxIds].Id;
partylist[i].name = selectedItems[indxIds].Name;
partylist[i].entityType = selectedItems[indxIds].TypeName;
i ;
}
var entityFormOptions = {};
entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "email";
// Set default values for the Contact form
var formParameters = {};
//set regarding object
formParameters["regardingobjectid"] = selectedItems[0].Id;
formParameters["regardingobjectidname"] = selectedItems[0].Name;
formParameters["regardingobjectidtype"] = selectedItems[0].TypeName;
//set To field
formParameters["to"] = partylist;
// Open the form.
Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then(
function (success) {
console.log(success);
},
function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
}
function OpenQuickCreateemailsingleRecorde(PrimaryControl)
{
partylist[0] = new Object();
partylist[0].id = PrimaryControl[0].Id;
partylist[0].name = PrimaryControl[0].Name;
partylist[0].entityType = PrimaryControl[0].TypeName;
var entityFormOptions = {};
entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "email";

//Set EMail Regarding Field
formParameters["regardingobjectid"] = PrimaryControl[0].Id;
formParameters["regardingobjectidname"] = PrimaryControl[0].Name;

//Set Email TO Field
formParameters["to"] = partylist;

Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then(
function (success) {
console.log(success);
},
function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
You can comment the code for regarding field if you don't need.
Hi Miss Dynamics,
To field is party list type field(also for Regarding field), such type of field is not able to be populated with parameters from openEntityForm function.
The workaround is that you could create additional input parameters to email form properties, run another javascript function at email form OnLoad event to query parameters passed from openEntityForm function,
then use these parameters to populate To field, as what we do when populating a lookup field.
formContext.getAttribute("to").setValue([{id:'',name:'',entityType:'contact'}]);
Please refer to following thread for how to add custom input parameters to form:
In addition, as Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters and openEntityForm will be deprecated, please replace them with formContext.data.attributes and Xrm.Navigation.openForm
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/important-changes-coming#some-client-apis-are-deprecated (getQueryStringParameters)
