Refresh Entity Form after adding row to a sub-grid.

Posted on by Community Member

I have a scenario when I update certain fields on case entity whenever I add a record to custom entity's sub-grid which is on the case entity form. Fields on case form are updated via sync plugin which is triggered when the new custom entity record is created.

the fields on case form are updated but changes are not visible unless I manually refresh the case form.

Is there a way that I can refresh the case form whenever a record is added or removed from the sub-grid.

I do not want to refresh the form everytime sub-grid refreshes, so I need a solution other then addOnLoad function of sub-grid.

Any help on this is appreciated.

Try this:

var recordcount = null; function OnLoad() { CheckRecordCount(); } function CheckRecordCount() { try { setInterval(function () { if (Xrm.Page != null && Xrm.Page != undefined && Xrm.Page.getControl("GRIDNAME") != null && Xrm.Page.getControl("GRIDNAME") != undefined) { var rowcount = Xrm.Page.getControl("GRIDNAME").getGrid().getTotalRecordCount(); if (recordcount == null) { recordcount = rowcount; } else if (recordcount != rowcount) Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName(), Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()); } }, 5000); } catch (ex) { Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(functionName + "Errore: " + (ex.message || ex.description)); } }

Hope it helps.

The above given solution will not work since you are getting row count from the page itself which will always be unchanged if not refreshed manually.

Instead of using this -- formContext.getControl("subgrid").getGrid().getTotalRecordCount();

You can use webapi to get the record count from Backend.

Also, at the if else condition you need to assign rowcount to recordcount

else if (recordcount != rowcount) {
recordCount = rowcount;
formContext.getControl("subgrid").refresh();
}
