By using following code snippet I can Save & Close existing form and then open new form with certain parameters. However, when I hit Save & close button on new form it close that as well but get back to the older form. It seems that older form wasn't closed.

Any idea, what I am missing to close the existing form?

function getAttrValues(orderAttr,entityName){
    try{
        Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();
        setTimeout(function(){Xrm.Page.data.save("saveandclose").then(loadNewForm(orderAttr,entityName), function(){})},3000);
    }
    catch(e){
        alert("Error: "+e.message);
    }
}

function loadNewForm(orderdBy,entityName){
        var parameters = {};
        var orderId = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(orderdBy).getValue()[0].id;
        var orderName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(orderdBy).getValue()[0].name;

        parameters["param_orderid"] = orderId;
        parameters["param_ordername"] = orderName;
        parameters["param_bol"] = 1;

        Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(entityName, null, parameters);
}

Hi Mosin,

That is the default behavior when you save and close a form it will redirect you to the last form opened.

On custom button click it should grab parameters from existing form, close existing form and then open up a new form with parameter values populated. And then upon hitting save and close it should close the window.

So if I am not wrong your code is working fine but when you are clicking Save & Close, it is again taking you to the old form where you have opened this form? If this then it is expected, the save & close form.

What are you expecting when you click Save & Close? If you want to go back to the home page view then you can have your own custom button say close and go back to your view

I have following snippet at Save & Close; it only save the record but do not close window.

function closeRecord(){

Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();

setTimeout(function(){

var tempWindow = window.top.location.href;

tempWindow.close(); },3000);

}

Hi,

You have added the script to save the revord amd close the revord on save & close button....Save & close does the same thing by default and it will go the last used form if you try to close the current form. What you need is aredirevt to some main page.

In the above code try the below

window.top.location.href = <amin url of your crm i.e https:\\crmorg.crm.dynamics.com>

Hope this helps
