Hi,
This is CRM 2011 On-premise, using IE11 on Windows 8.1 .
I am using query string parameters with a custom ribbon button to launch a new custom entity form, passing parameters and setting values on the new form. Works nicely and is preferable to using a dialog as is quick and instantly shows the record ready to check and then save to create.
One of the fields I need to pass across however is a multiline text box which could be up to 5000 characters. I'm running into what I think is the limit for a URL length in these scenarios when I get to around 2000 characters and hence am having to check the length of the text string in the javascript and truncate it if it results in the overall URL length being too long.
I've learned of a possibility of using javascript to copy a CRM field(s) to the clipboard to then be able to paste from there - window.clipboardData.setData("",);
I'm now wondering if I can use this to get and set this often large text string using the clipboard rather than trying to pass through the URL?
Or is that madness and I should forget it and succumb to using a plug-in or dialog?
Thanks in advance.
Alex
