Not able to pass parameters to existing record using Xrm.navigation.openForm nor Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm

Hello,

I have been trying to set a text field with a value for an existing record using Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm and Xrm.Navigation.openForm but the field is still not getting set.

This is my code, I am applying it to a system view and it works fine when I try to create a new record but it does not update any existing records as the parameters are not passed as the cmdbar is still visible.

I passed the selectedControlSelectedItemReferences CRM parameter from the ribbon workbench and I am using the recordID to navigate to the record I am trying to update.

Here is my code.

function setTextField(selectedItem){

parameters["mci_casereopeningreason"] = "ANY RANDOM DATA";

parameters["cmdbar"] = false;

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("incident", selectedItem[0].Id, parameters);

}

Thanks in advance.

After doing some debugging, I found that my successCallback function is getting called and my console.log(success); line actually prints in my console.

But anyways, I do not update the record in my success function, I do it in the calling function call itself.

Hi,

On MS documentation says:

The successCallback function is not executed when you open a form for an existing or new record.

The successCallback function is executed only when you save a record in a quick create form that was opened using the openForm method.

web client, and I am sure I the field on the form.

My problem is that it sets the field when open new record form, yet fails to set it when opening existing record.

Yes. I did it using the following code, but still not setting the value of the field right.

var entityFormOptions = {};

entityFormOptions["openInNewWindow"] = false;

entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "incident";

entityFormOptions["entityId"] = selectedItem[0].Id;

var parameters = {};

parameters["mci_casereopeningreason"] = "ANY RANDOM DATA";

Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions,parameters).then(

function (success) {

console.log(success);

},

function (error) {

console.log(error);

});

Are you sure that you can use this method for existing record?
