Hi All, I have a requirement that I'm using HTML "navigateTo" web resource. I have a text field in HTML web resource that I need to update a form field using Webresource "window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("").setValue();" I have used above function. Getting cannot read null error.

Please help to achieve this

    Hi,

    Thank you for your query.

    window.parent.Xrm is not supported.

    Please use formContext in the Web-resource.

    Here is a very nice tutorial on this:

    I tried but didn't work for me. Maybe because I'm using navigateTo to call web resource as a POPUP window.

    Hi,

    In this scenario, it is better to pass data (as parameter) in the NavigateTo function:

    This is an excellent post by Andrew Butenko:

    Here is another post, which demonstrates how you can use FormContext:
