Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() returns wrongly after initial save.

Posted on by Community Member

I am recently noticing a problem with CRM online with code that previously worked.

If Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() is called in onload event scripts, functions called by onload event or even soon thereafter following the initial save of a CRM record the wrong value is returned. The value 1 of create form is being returned after save so value 2 should be returned.

If Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() is delayed or called subsequently to other code the correct value of 2 is returned.

This seems to be a recent bug.

Hello everybody,

The only workaround I found for the moment is to check the disabled state on another field where you are pretty sure it will be disabled if the form is in Read-Only mode:

if ( Xrm.Page.getControl(arg).getDisabled() == true)

{

//Form State is in read-only

}

Hello guys,

I am also facing the same issue. I am running a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Version (8.2.2.112) On-premise.

In some cases, Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() is returning 2 (update) even on a Read-only form.

Do you guys have any update ?

Regards,

Rafael

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the work around is possible, thanks. I was more looking to understand if this had been acknowledged as a bug.

.getFormType() has been used since CRM v4 for me and is quite fundamental in from operations so should be reliable. I should I suppose of taken this up this MS directly.

None the less thanks for your suggestion.

Interesting point, As of now 13/10/2017 08:00(UK) Forms for Opportunity and Account implementing .getFormType() in load event are returning correctly!

I will continue to monitor and update.

Regards,

Simon

Hi,

this is probably the reason why they are using a different approach even in the dynamics team blogs:

(Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() == null || Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() == ‘undefined’ || Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() == ”)
