Custom button on editable sub grid to change field values on selected records Javascript

Good day Community

I am hoping I can get some guidance here.

I have created a custom button in Ribbon workbench and have successfully added it to an editable subgrid with rules to show when 1 or more records are selected in the subgrid and to hide the buttons when there are no records selected.

My problem now is I can't seem to get the JavaScript to work when clicking on the button. What needs to happen, is when I select the button, it needs to change a value on the records selected in the subgrid.

Can someone please help me here with a sample of Javascript that I can look at and see where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

You will have to pass the SelectedControl as CrmParameter Value as shown in the blog post below.

https://debajmecrm.com/getting-form-context-from-sub-grid-ribbon-button-in-dynamics-v9-0-gotchas/

Then, get the gridContext.

var grid = selectedControl.getGrid();

Once you get the gridContext, you can call getSelectedRows()

https://docs.microsoft.com/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/grids/grid/getselectedrows?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5003873

and loop through the GridAttribute for each selected record.

https://docs.microsoft.com/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/grids/gridattribute?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5003873

Sample code to set the value of first selected row

grid.getSelectedRows().get(0).getData().getEntity().attributes.get("xyz_name").setValue("Updated!");

Hello Tyler,

Thank you for posting on community forum.

You will have to debug the issue by doing the following:

Is the code JS working without any rule on normal selected record even? You can check the console log is there is any issue.

You will have first to remove the hide and show rule and see if your JavaScript is working without

For the sample , you can find it here:
