getting the Parent form context inside editable subgrid event

Posted on by Nagaraj M 161

Hi team,

I have one requirement  to lock the editable sub grid based upon the status field value which is on the parent form.

i created one function and triggering it onrecordselect event of the editable subgrid, but here in subgrid context i am only getting the fields which are available in the subgrid but unable to get the fields on the parent form.

below is the function

function LockRowSelected(context) {
context.getFormContext().getData().getEntity().attributes.forEach(function (attr) {
attr.controls.forEach(function (c) {
c.setDisabled(true);
})
});
}

so does any one have idea to get the parent form field values so that i can conditionally lock the sub grid.

Thanks,

Nagaraju Matta.

    I had a similar issue and Xrm.Page.getAttribute('formfield').getValue(); worked for me.  I wasn't able get any method to work using formContext.

    actually we are implementing this using latest v 9.0 syntax , using formcontext and we are avoiding Xrm object model as it is going to deprecated in future releases.

    Okay, so when you say field from parent form it actually means the value from current form.

    what you want to do is get value from the records which are there in the subgrid. I think best way to do this is to retrieve the ID of the record in the subgrid and do a web api request to retrieve the field values you want :

    Hi,

    Are you not able to access it using

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute('formfield').getValue();
