I have tried this before on a different version of CRM, but cannot seem to get it to work on a new project.

I have created a solution and used Ribbon workbench to add a button. The button calls JS;

   function BuildBACSFile(selectedItems)
{ alert("started"(;
try {
        var stringlist ="";
       for (var i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++)
      {
        if(stringlist != "")
        {
            if(selectedItems[i] != null && selectedItems[i] != undefined)
                stringlist = stringlist + "," + selectedItems[i].Id;

        }
        else

            if(selectedItems[i] != null && selectedItems[i] != undefined)
                 stringlist = selectedItems[i].Id;

}

        var inputParams = [
      { key: "ParameterGuids", type: Process.Type.String, value: stringlist },
      { key: "Target", type: Process.Type.EntityReference, value: new Process.EntityReference("new_transactionsets", selectedItems[0].Id)
} ];

I have added the plugin and registered the step

basically at this stage I am writing the selected id's to a text file ( just to get this part working)

When I select an item and click the button, nothing happens. I'm at a loss as to what i'm missing

Hello,

I don't see in your code where you call the action - I believe that's why it doesn't work. Try to add the call.

My apologies , I cut the JS script short when I pasted it

function BuildBACSFile(selectedItems)

{ alert("started");

try {

var stringlist ="";

for (var i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++)

{

if(stringlist != "")

{

if(selectedItems[i] != null && selectedItems[i] != undefined)

stringlist = stringlist + "," + selectedItems[i].Id;

}

else

if(selectedItems[i] != null && selectedItems[i] != undefined)

stringlist = selectedItems[i].Id;

}

}

var inputParams = [

{ key: "ParameterGuids", type: Process.Type.String, value: stringlist },

{ key: "Target", type: Process.Type.EntityReference, value: new Process.EntityReference("new_transactionsets", selectedItems[0].Id)

} ];

//Call the custom action

Process.callAction("new_BuildMultiBACSFile", inputParams, successCallback, errorCallback);

}

catch(err)

{

alert(err)

}

}

Seems that you used Process.js library. Have you added that js file to ribbon reference?

Anyway the best way to figure out what's wrong with your script is to troubleshoot it. Here is the video that can be helpful:
