Changing Form Title

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LMP 680

Hi Experts,

We have an Agreement Entity and have two different forms on it - Agreement and Request forms.
When creating a record using the Request form, "New Agreement" is showing as the form title and we would like to change it to "New Request" instead. We are using Dynamics CRM 2016 and Dynamics 365 environments. I found a post from MehrCRM but this is in unsupported way community.dynamics.com/.../211553.

Is there a supported way to change the form title? Or if there is no supported way, other unsupported way to change the form title? Thanks!

    Hi,

    Whatever is the entity name is displayed in the form title.

    Your entity name is Agreement and hence New Agreement will be the form title. It is the OOB behaviour.

    Hi Nithya,

    Yup it is the OOB behavior and we have a request to change its name to whatever the form is currently open. We have to use an unsupported code to complete this requirement.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Regards,

    LMP

    Hi,

    Register the following Javascript function on-load of the form.

    function ChangeFormTitle() {

    //Get form type
    var formType = Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType();

    //Get the form name
    var formName = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getLabel();

    //Checking the form type is create
    if (formType == 1) {
        //Checking the form name
        if (formName == "Agreement") {
            //Changing the form title
            window.parent.document.getElementById("FormTitle").innerText = "New Agreement";
        }

        else if (formName == "Request") {
            window.parent.document.getElementById("FormTitle").innerText = "New Request";
        }
    }

}

    Hope this helps.
