Automatically save table form when field value changes - JavaScript

Posted on by Joakim Gunstad

Hi,

I have created a simple logic which triggers an alert box when a specific field value changes on my form.

It is a confirmation alert box where you have to "verify" before the field value changes from No to Yes.

I would like to extend this logic to include an automatic save of the table form itself. Once you have clicked "confirm" on the alert box and the field value changes, then it should trigger an automatic save of the form.

Below is the logic I have so far:

function test_markcompleteuser_onchange ()
{
var approval = confirm("Do you wish to send this record for approval?");
if (approval)
{
alert("Press OK and save the form to proceed");
}
else
{

}
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Joakim Gunstad,

You can use formContext.data.save() method to automatic save your record in your logic.(Doc:docs.microsoft.com/.../save)

Below is my test code:

function onChange(executionContext){
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var approval = confirm("Do you wish to send this record for approval?");
if (approval)
{
console.log("Press OK and save the form to proceed");
formContext.data.save().then(
function success(){
console.log("data is saved");
},
function fail(error){
Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog({
text: error.message
});
}
);
}
else
{
console.log("Press cancel");
}
}

Result:

Note:

When you create on change event, please check the below setting:
