Posted on by Himanshu Kamboj 359

Hi, 

I have a functionality to trigger the plugin on button click, so for that, I have created a custom button, on button click I am calling Js and there in Js I am triggering the action. This action I have created for the opportunity entity with Input parameter(type of entity reference).

All are going good my plugin also getting triggered but not able to ready the Input parameter value, like I don't know the syntax to ready the entity reference parameter of an action inside the plugin.

My Action

    My plugin code is working fine, now I have created the XMLHTTP api for that action and now, I am passing the string parameter instead of entity reference.

    Hi,

    Try to execute your custom action from c# console app to confirm it works.

    If it works then we know there is something wrong in js code 

    I would request you to generate js code using Dataverse rest builder tool

    Object reference is not set to an instance of an object.

    Here I have attached my JS.

    function callActionToReopenOpp(primaryControl){

       var formContext = primaryControl;

       var Id = formContext.data.entity.getId().replace('{', '').replace('}', '');

       var target = {};

       target.entityType = "opportunity";

       target.id = Id;

       var req = {};

       req.entity = target;

       req.InputParam = target;

       req.getMetadata = function () {

               return {

                   boundParameter: "entity",

                   parameterTypes: {

                       "entity": {

                           typeName: "mscrm.opportunity",

                           structuralProperty: 5

                       }

                   },

                   "InputParam": {

                       "typeName": "mscrm.opportunity",

                       "structuralProperty": 5

                   },

                   operationType: 0,

                   operationName: "ReopenOpportunityFromDeclinedStage"

               };

       };

       Xrm.WebApi.online.execute(req).then(

           function success(result) {

               if (result.ok) {

                   //Success - No Return Data - Do Something

                   alert("Web API Action Called Successfully...");

               }

           },

           function(error) {

               Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);

           }

       );

    }
