Hi, from today, I encounter this problem when try to get the formContext from a nested editable grid. This, solution worked well till yesterday but today return a null value.

This is my situation: I have put a onRecordSelect Method to try to block some columns in my grid. I have a grid and a nested grid from this one. The first one works without problem, the second, have the null value when get the formContext

This is my method when the record select trigger.

And this is how I pass the executionContext as first parameter

Till Yesterday the solution works and now not.

Anyone have some tips or any workaround for this problem?

P.S. I'm sorry for my bad english

RE: ExecutionContext.getFormContext returns null value

Thanks Juanlor. This isn't the main form but the nested subgrid in an another subgrid. so Xrm.Page is referenced to the main page.

By the way, the workaround I've found is this change:

instead of

"ExecutionContext.getFormContext().getData().getEntity().attributes.forEach(function (attr) { ... "

where the getFormContext() return null, I've used:

"ExecutionContext.getEventSource().attributes.forEach(function (attr) { ... "

where i can do my logic with columns.

thanks anyway

I have the same problem in a productive environment and I'm using a temporary ugly solution:

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
if (!formContext) {
formContext = Xrm.Page;
}

Regards.

RE: ExecutionContext.getFormContext returns null value

Hi Nya,

the problem is the getFormContext method return null. The ExecutionContext (first parameter passed through the trigger event) isn't null. I can see all the attributes in the grid (about the entity) and all the value inserted.

As I said before, till yesterday (in this case 2 days ago), this script worked well, but from today the script can't get the formContext from the ExecutionContext of the nested subgrid.

The ExecutionContext.getFormContext() of the page, works

The ExecutionContext.getFormContext() of the main grid works

The ExecutionContext.getFormContext() of the nested grid in main grid doesn't works.

About reply the error, I've tried to simulate in debug cause i've bypass the error putting a null control (just a workaroud to let the user to work). this is the error:

Thanks for the interested

Hi,

Would you please share the error log which can be downloaded in the bottom of the error message?

Or you can try to add a code snippet something like the following into your JS before the getData:

if (xxx == null) { alert('cancel'); break; }
