Passing DateTime to Global Action using Javascript

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to pass DateTime parameter to global custom action using javascript. with no success. What is right way.

I have tried "typeName": "Edm.DateTime" and "Edm.DateTimeOffset" also tried "typeName": "Edm.String" (date formatted using javascript function .toJason() )

Code looks like following

act_testAction = function ( startDate) {

this.StartDate = startDate;

this.getMetadata = function () {
return {

boundParamter: null,
parameterTypes: {
"StartDate": { 
"typeName": "Edm.DateTime",
"structuralProperty": 1
}
},
operationType: 0, // 0 for action, 1 for function and 2 for CRUD
operationName: "act_test"
};

};

 

let requestObject = new act_testAction( sdate);

return await Xrm.WebApi.online.execute(requestObject);

    You need to use formatted datetime using format("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.sszzz")

    Thanks, 

    I was trying to call actions using 

      Xrm.WebApi.online.execute(requestObject);

    I converted my login to using XMLHttpRequest and it works (Same date time value)

    i am curious to know if anyone has used  Xrm.WebApi.online.execute to call actions (especially date). Just wanted to understand where i went wrong...

    here is the code

    inc_testAction = function (firstEntityReference, secondEntityReference,  startDate) {

    this.first = firstEntityReference;
    this.second = secondEntityReference;
    this.StartDate = startDate;

    this.getMetadata = function () {
    return {
    boundParamter: null,
    parameterTypes: {
    "first ": {// Entity Reference
    "typeName": "mscrm.my_entityone",
    "structuralProperty": 5
    },
    "second": {// Entity Reference
    "typeName": "mscrm.myentitytwo",
    "structuralProperty": 5
    },
    "StartDate": { // Date
     "typeName": "Edm.DateTimeoffset",
     "structuralProperty": 1
    }
    },
    operationType: 0, 
    operationName: "my_Test"
    };
    };

    };


    let firstEntityReference= {
    "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.my_entityone",
    "@inc_schedule.id": scheduleId
    };
    let secondEntityReference= {
    "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.myentitytwo",
    "@inc_rotation.id": rotationId
    };

    //mynamespace.common.convertToLocalDate()

    //this function returns 

    // localDate.toJSON();

    var requestObject = new inc_testAction(firstEntityReference, secondEntityReference, mynamespace.common.convertToLocalDate(startDate)); /

    return await Xrm.WebApi.online.execute(requestObject);
