Hi Guyz,

I have a requirement to implement.

On click of custom button i am opening attachment form. After uploading one document i am clicking on Attach button, and i am getting some error.

Can any one help me with this. My requirement is to user should be able to submit doc on click of custom button. Thank you for your help.

My code is:

function openAttachmentForm() {
debugger;
//var parameters = {};
//parameters["testid"] = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
//parameters["new_name"] = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").getValue();
recordIDwithBraces = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
var recordID = recordIDwithBraces.substring(1, 37);
Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("activitymimeattachment", null, null);
}

Error I am getting is

File Could Not Be Uploaded

Invalid Argument.

Attribute: objectid cannot be set to NULL

    the problem is you are just opening the attachment form - but once attachment is added - it doesnt know where to go as we are not providing it the entity record id :

    you can follow the below post to take some reference from it untill some other expert doesnt give you exact code :

    function openAttachmentForm() {

       debugger;

       var recordIDwithBraces = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

       var recordID = recordIDwithBraces.substring(1, 37);

       var testName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").getValue();

       var parameters = {};

       parameters["objectid"] = recordID;

       parameters["objectidtype"] = "new_test";

       //parameters["testid"] = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

       //parameters["new_name"] = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_name").getValue();

       Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("activitymimeattachment", null, parameters);

       //Xrm.Page.entity.save();

    }

    Hi naZir,

    I am aware that you cannot customize the attachment entity.

    What I was suggesting is opening the attachment for using Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm or just passing a url with the parameters included in it.

    Try it out.

    Hi Aric,

    It wont work that way. Try to implement the scenario.

    When i am clicking the custom button, It is opening a new attachment form. But after uploading i am clicking attach button.. that time only the error is coming. We can not customize the attachement entity. Any way to implement the same scenario ... Thank you

    Hi naZir,

    The objectid is an EntityReference that you need to pass which has the entity name and entity id where the attachment will belong to:

    note[“objectid”] = new EntityReference(“contact”, entityId);

    In JS:

    parameters["objectid"] = "2878282E-94D6-E111-9B1D-00155D9D700B";

    parameters["objectidtype"] = "contact";

    Try it out. Hope it works.

    Hi Nazir,

    You are opening an empty attachment form and not relating it to anything.

    I think you need to pass the parameters out of which Objectid is one required parameters.

    Please refer to below link for passing parameters

    social.microsoft.com/.../passing-regardingobjectidtype-to-xrmutilityopenentityform

    Hope this helped.

    Thanks

    No, Its not about the doc extension related issue.
