Navigating away from form saves the form? Any way to prevent this?

Posted on by Community Member

Hi everyone!

I have a form with some lookup fields . When i click on a lookup field it automatically goes to the related entity. I get a popup alerting me if i want to stay on the form or not , but if i click to leave the form it automatically saves the form. 

I also have a script preventing save when some values are empty but it seems to override this , because my script works only on save of the form. My solution would be to hidden a field which is required to have a value. When the conditions are all met that field would get a value and so the save would be ok or if it is empty to get a message regarding the required field.

However is there a way to alter this functionality by CRM?

    Have you prevented the main form from auto save? or just calling the script function only to validate few values on save? If you have not prevented from auto save, Please use the below function.

    function preventAutoSave(econtext) {

       var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();

       if (eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 70) {

           eventArgs.preventDefault();

       }

    }

    Call "preventAutoSave" function in Form -> OnSave event. Also you need check include the context as first parameter. Then add your JavaScript function in the OnSave event.

    You can disable the auto save function via the system settings.

    Auto save can be helpful and can be devil =D

    Even though i had the command preventDefault() on my condition to check for some fields , adding this script actually worked. Thank you!
