I'm upgrading some js code and I'm trying to replace this

Xrm.Page.context.prependOrgName("myfile");

with this

var context = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();

context.userSettings.prependOrgName("myfile");

However i'm getting this error

TypeError: Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext is not a function in functionName

This is a js web resource that I'm trying to run it in.The js is ran onload

Has anyone seen this before?

Hi, if you are using that in a webresource might be just context that does not nothing about Xrm object...

you cand add this tag

<script type="text/javascript" src="../ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx"></script>

now in your script could be in same html or external JS

<script type="text/javascript">

var Xrm;

(function(){

Xrm = Xrm || parent.Xrm;

})

function yourAwesomeFunction(){

var context = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();

}

</script>

here more detailied

Hello,

What is the version of Dynamics 365?

In order to troubleshoot, you can open debugger (pressing F12) and run the code directly from the console to check what is available.

Please follow this guide as example: carldesouza.com/.../

Hope this helps you.

Please mark the answer as verified if helpful. That will help others in future.

yeah

whe you say webresource do you mean to a HTML or a JS file?

try opening console dev tools form your browser and write that line of code and it should return an object

if is just a JS file that you want to set on a form and you can't then you should rise a ticket to Microsoft
