Multiple forms in single entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have 3 forms in the accounts entity. AccountA (default out of the box form), AccountB, AccountC

I have created a custom field (type: single line of text) to store the value of the form the record was created in. 

I used the following javascript to open the correct form based on the field value. Although the correct form is opening onLoad, I'm now experiencing other issues: When I create a new record and click on "save and close" or "save" it saves and automatically opens a new AccountA form. When I try to switch to AccountB or Account C form from the dropdown, it gives this the following pop up and again opens AccountA form.

Screen-Shot-2017_2D00_11_2D00_28-at-1.23.30-PM.jpg_2D00_640x480.jpg

Here is the code I used: 

function onLoad()
{

//if the form is update form
if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType()==2)
   // variable to store the name of the form
   var lblForm;
   // get the value picklist field
   var relType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_formname").getValue();
   // switch statement to assign the form to the picklist value
   //change the switch statement based on the forms numbers and picklist values
   switch (relType) {
       case 'AccountC':
           lblForm = "AccountC";
           break;
       case 'AccountB':
           lblForm = "AccountB";
           break;
       default:
           lblForm = "AccountA";
   }
   //check if the current form is form need to be displayed based on the value
   if (Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getLabel() != lblForm) {
       var items = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.items.get();
       for (var i in items) {
           var item = items[i];
           var itemId = item.getId();
           var itemLabel = item.getLabel()
           if (itemLabel == lblForm) {
               //navigate to the form
               item.navigate();
			   return;
           } //endif
       } //end for
   } //endif
}//endif


Please help me solve this problem. Thank you!

    If new_formname field is option set then your code wont work. getValue will give you optionset value not the label. to get label use this line

    var relType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_formname").getText();

    changing it to getText() throws a script error onload of form

    Hi,

    I think you have a bracket problem.

    Could you please try this:

    function onLoad()
    {
    
    //if the form is update form
    if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType()==2){
    	   // variable to store the name of the form
    	   var lblForm;
    	   // get the value picklist field
    	   var relType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_formname").getValue();
    	   // switch statement to assign the form to the picklist value
    	   //change the switch statement based on the forms numbers and picklist values
    	   switch (relType) {
    		   case 'AccountC':
    			   lblForm = "AccountC";
    			   break;
    		   case 'AccountB':
    			   lblForm = "AccountB";
    			   break;
    		   default:
    			   lblForm = "AccountA";
    	   }
    	   //check if the current form is form need to be displayed based on the value
    	   if (Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getLabel() != lblForm) {
    		   var items = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.items.get();
    		   for (var i in items) {
    			   var item = items[i];
    			   var itemId = item.getId();
    			   var itemLabel = item.getLabel()
    			   if (itemLabel == lblForm) {
    				   //navigate to the form
    				   item.navigate();
    				   return;
    			   } //endif
    		   } //end for
    	   } //endif
    	}
    }//endif
