RE: Creating a custom link / button in forms

Hi Waseem,

What type of issue are you facing in solution?

Don't try to add entity in patch solution and try to edit in ribbon workbench. While publishing your changes you might face an issue.

Better create new solution add your entity and make changes in ribbon workbench.

To achieve your functionality, create custom button add command and associate custom js. Pass crm parameter "primary control" where you will get formcontext. In custom js then retrieve fullname and address_city using formcontext.

Regards,

Prakash

RE: Creating a custom link / button in forms

Hi, were are you facing issues ? On Ribbon solution?
take a look of the tool Ribbon Workbench it comes very handy working with custom buttons on your entities forms.

I could recommend you to use the Smart Buttons you can just create a button and write a JS and create the URL you want and open that with window.open(URL)
