PTO-Request.png

I have workflow which is created to send notification email to the approver.The approver is set in dynamics application.Above is the personal timeoff request form where the record is submitted for workflow.The link is then sent to the approver after the workflow is submitted.The issue with the link is it is always opening the first record in the form and not opening the selected record during workflow submission.Is there a way to send a link which has the currently selected record in the form.As per the image the 4th record is the one selected but the link always opens the first one.I checked the logic in the init method it always fetches the first record since there is no caller form to fetch the currently selected data.How can we proceed on this?

Please help me on this issue.

Thanks.

    In some of the forms, this is by design.

    You can raise a ticket to Ms to see if this is a bug or they have any plans to enhance.

    Hi Komi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I tried the same method by putting logic in init method of details form but still it didnt work.I guess my requirement is a bit different.The link is sent to our email through workflow config and by submitting the details in the form.If we open the link from email there is no way it knows the caller form details so the value in element.args().record is empty,hence it is always fetching the first record in the form not the selected one.I tried to debug the code when form opens through the link in the email.This is the code which always triggers this piece of logic.Please help me on this issue.

    if (element.args().menuItemName() == identifierStr(PMIPPTORequestDetails) && element.args().callerName() == "")

           {

               select firstonly RecId from  localPMIPPersonalTimeOffRequest

                   where localPMIPPersonalTimeOffRequest.CurrentWorker == HcmWorkerLookup::currentWorker();

               PMIPPersonalTimeOffRequest_ds.query().dataSourceTable(tableNum(PMIPPersonalTimeOffRequest)).addRange(fieldNum(PMIPPersonalTimeOffRequest, RecId)).value(queryValue(localPMIPPersonalTimeOffRequest.RecId));

           }

    Thank you
