I am using CRM

Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 2016(8.1.0.359) (DB 8.1.0.359)

I am using a custom action and plugin.

The output parameter that I am setting is called "IsStatus". I response result is coming back with nothing. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

javascript code - responseText is coming back with nothing

$.ajax({
     url: organizationUrl + "/api/data/v8.0/new_CreateNewCaseDataSheet",
     type: 'POST',
     contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
     datatype: "json",
     data: data,
     success: function (responseText) {
         //var jsonData = JSON.stringify(responseText); 
         //var getStatus = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
         //isStatus = getStatus.isStatus;
         alert(" -- Action Called - 23");
         //    updateMap(myArr); 
         window.close();
         return false;
         
          },

Plugin Code

       // TODO: Implement your custom Plug-in business logic.
       IPluginExecutionContext context = localContext.PluginExecutionContext;
       IOrganizationService service = localContext.OrganizationService;

       if (context.InputParameters.Contains("EntityArg") && context.InputParameters["EntityArg"] is Entity)
       {
           context.OutputParameters["IsStatus"] = false;
           bool isStatus = true;
           context.OutputParameters["IsStatus"] = isStatus;
       }

Hello,

Can you please show how you populate "data" variable in your JS and can you please provide screenshot that demonstrates plugin's step registration?

Here's the javascript

function parseDataValue(datavalue) { //Pass to the action EntityArg var new_datatracking = {}; new_datatracking.new_caseid = XrmP.Page.getAttribute("new_caseid").getValue()[0].id.replace(/{/g,'').replace(/}/g,''); new_datatracking.new_productstandardid = XrmP.Page.getAttribute("new_productstandardid").getValue()[0].id.replace(/{/g,'').replace(/}/g,''); new_datatracking.new_datasheettemplateid = XrmP.Page.getAttribute("new_selectortemplateid").getValue()[0].id.replace(/{/g, '').replace(/}/g, ''); new_datatracking.new_samplegroupid = XrmP.Page.getAttribute("new_samplegroup").getValue()[0].id.replace(/{/g, '').replace(/}/g, ''); new_datatracking.new_caseselectorid = XrmP.Page.data.entity.getId(); button.onclick = function () { new_datatracking.new_clausenumberid = $("#clausenames option:selected").val(); new_datatracking.new_isaddresult = $("#resultsflag option:selected").val(); var data = { "EntityArg": new_datatracking }; CallActionPlugin(data) } function CallActionPlugin(datatracking) { var isStatus; var organizationUrl = serverUrl; var query = "new_CreateNewCaseDataSheet" var data = JSON.stringify(datatracking); $.ajax({ url: organizationUrl + "/api/data/v8.0/new_CreateNewCaseDataSheet", type: 'POST', contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", datatype: "json", data: data, success: function (responseText) { //var jsonData = JSON.stringify(responseText); //var getStatus = JSON.parse(this.responseText); //isStatus = getStatus.isStatus; alert(" -- Action Called - 23"); // updateMap(myArr); window.close(); return false; }, error: function (jqXHR, exception) { var msg = ''; if (jqXHR.status === 0) { msg = 'Not connect.\n Verify Network.'; } else if (jqXHR.status == 404) { msg = 'Requested page not found. [404]'; } else if (jqXHR.status == 500) { msg = 'Internal Server Error [500].'; } else if (exception === 'parsererror') { msg = 'Requested JSON parse failed.'; } else if (exception === 'timeout') { msg = 'Time out error.'; } else if (exception === 'abort') { msg = 'Ajax request aborted.'; } else { msg = 'Uncaught Error.\n' + jqXHR.responseText; } alert(msg); } });

You code should not work at all because your code contains references to XrmP.

new_datatracking.new_caseid = XrmP.Page.getAttribute("new_caseid").getValue()[0].id.replace(/{/g,'').replace(/}/g,'');

Hi Andrew,

My input parameters are working in the plugin. I am trying to send an output parameter stating that the process has completed.

I mean your JS code is not valid. It will not work.

Regarding fact that "your input parameters are working in the plugin" - why are you so sure?

Ok. That shows that your code works and reaches setting of value.

Can you please provide code that you use to check output value?

That piece of your code in initial post is commented out:

//var getStatus = JSON.parse(this.responseText);

//isStatus = getStatus.isStatus;

Even if you will use it you should use IsStatus and not isStatus.

Good luck.
