Hi,

I replaced event.returnValue with getEventArgs().preventDefault() but it is not working.  Please find below the scripts and screen-shots for you reference.  It give error and save record.  Please help to find solution.

function Form_onsave(executionOb)

{

if((Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_accountid").getValue() != null ) &&

(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").getValue() == null ))

{

 var results = GetRelatedcontacts();

 if (results != 0)

   {

   alert("Technology details of this account is already in CRM. Please close this window and select existing record from view");

           Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").setValue() =null;

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_accountid").setFocus(true);

           executionObj.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

         }

   }

    RE: getEventArgs().preventDefault not working

    Hi!

    I am facing a similar problem!

    I pass the context as 1st parameter

    this is my test code

    function executeOnLoad(_context) {
    _context.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

    }

    context is populated but getEventArgs() returns null

    any idea??

    thanks

    Hi Noushad,

    You set null value like 

      Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").setValue() =null;

    It should be 

      Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").setValue(null);

     


    And your context name is different.

    On Form_Save function you pass context name is executionOb

    And while Prevent you gave executionObj.

    So final code should be

    function Form_onsave(executionObj)

    {

    if((Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue() != null ) &&

    (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue() != null ))

    {
    var result=getContactDetails();
    if(result!=null){


    alert("Technology details of this account is already in CRM. Please close this window and select existing record from view");

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").setValue(null);

    Xrm.Page.getControl("fieldname").setFocus(true);

    executionObj.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

    }

    }

    }

    Hope it helps you

    Thanks

    Hi Noushad,

    Please check the execution context, whether you did pass it to the function or not.

    The executionObj is getting null, so it is not able to access the getEventArgs method of context.

    Hope this helped.

    Thanks

    {

    if((Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_accountid").getValue() != null ) &&

    (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").getValue() == null ))

    {

    alert("1");

    var results = GetRelatedcontacts();

    if (results != 0)

      {

        alert("2");

     alert("Technology details of this account is already in CRM. Please close this window and select existing record from view");

              Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").setValue(null);

              Xrm.Page.getControl("new_accountid").setFocus(true);

              executionObj.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

         }

     }
