Read parent window's values in a child window

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sudharshini 25

How can I read parent window's fields and pass it to a web resource in a child window (Modal)?

Something like below,

I need to read about 10 fields and use it in web resource.

I can retrieve with a service call, but just checking if i can read directly using getAttribute.

Tried few methods like this - window.opener.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("myfield").getValue()

Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    I would highly recommend to use WebApi to get the data. If you anyway want to get the data using DOM you should try to use window.parent.Xrm... to get the data.

    @Andrew, Any thoughts on how to refresh the parent form through javascript while closing the modal dialog?

    Can't you just add Xrm.Page.data.refresh(); on callback of the Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo function?

    Something like this:

    Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(INPUT).then(

       function success() {

               Xrm.Page.data.refresh();

       },

       function error() {

               // Handle errors

       }

    );

    How do we pass the return value from webresource to success callback?

    The only easy way of doing it I found was usage of sesionStorage/localStorage. If you want to see the way I do it - I have a post/video scheduled for this week where I will demonstrate how I do it. So if you don't want to miss it - subscribe to my blog and youtube channel.
