RE: Help with transitioning away from Xrm.Page

Posted on by 35

[quote user="wperkinson3"]

Good afternoon,

I am testing our Dynamics environment under version 9.0 and I am finding several custom Javascripts are not working due to the use of Xrm.Page

Can someone guide me on how to proceed in converting such functions as the following?

Thank you,

Will

============================

function addTask() {
 Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm('task', null, {
  pId: Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId().replace(/{|}/g, ''),
  pType: Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap[Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName()],
  pName: Xrm.Page.getAttribute('name').getValue()
 });
}

    Hi,

    Please find below reference for all deprecated method.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../xrm-utility

    Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm has been deprecated with Xrm.Navigation.openForm.

    Now the point is from where you are invoking the method.

    You can refer below article how to pass formcontext using Ribbon.

    www.inogic.com/.../java-script-execution-context-provides-form-values-on-web-as-well-as-uci-in-dynamics-365-v9-0

    The way you retrieved entity type code is not a supported method , So you can use API to retrieve entoty metadata .

    Please refer below article -

    www.inogic.com/.../retrieve-metadata-using-name-in-web-api

    You can still use parent.Xrm to access the parent fields. As of now there is no way to get formcontext from HTML. MS announce to be deprecated Xrm.Page in future major release  and during this time you can use Xrm.Page. Here is one old thread where I have answered clearly.

    community.dynamics.com/.../275459

    Hope this helps.

    Refer this: docs.microsoft.com/.../getglobalcontext-clientglobalcontext.js.aspx

    You have to refer GetGlobalContext method using clientglobalcontext.js reference to use global context.

    For form context, you have to use parent.Xrm or window.opener.Xrm based on how you open the html web resource to access it.
