So when i click on New button in this view then i want to run some custom javascript where i want to fetch this view name "My Active Contacts". As based on view name , i want to open different form as per each view.

So i tried by follow below mentioned blog but this javascript throws error when running .

Error :- object doesn't support property or method 'get_viewtitle'

Blog :- https://mahadeomatre.blogspot.com/2015/04/hide-ribbon-button-based-on-view.html

    Hello Sumit Thakran,

    The method proposed on the blog does not work on UCI. I found an alternative that works on UCI but is not supported. The Basic Idea is to find the viewId.

    in your JS, use this: Xrm._page.getUrl(), the result would be something like:

    use this sample code to get the viewId: 

    var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(Xrm._page.getUrl());
var viewId = urlParams.get("viewid").replace("{","").replace("}","")

console.log("viewId: "   viewId)
/*
viewId: 61273827-328E-E011-95AE-00155D9CFA03
*/

    hope this helps,

    Mehdi

    Hi,

    There is no supported way to achieve that.

    However, in the comments section of the referred article they explain which method should be used for D365.
