Hi,

I need to get the record id and display it in my new field. I have this simple JavaScript, I don't know why it is not working. I've also added in "OnSave" in form.

The new field remains blank/empty whenever a new record was created and saved

function getID()
{
var recordID =Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field").setValue('recordID');
}

Hi Jane,

On Save function executes in Asynchronouslys. So, ID might not be generated by the time of function calling. Please use SetTimeout to overcome this. PFB for code:

function getID() {

if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() == "") {

setTimeout(function () {

getID();

}, 500);

}

else {

var recordID = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field").setValue('recordID');

}

}

Lets give a try and let me know if any clarifications required

Hi Jane,

I think it's good to handle using a Plugin at post operation.

During save the ID is not generated so you will get empty value. You can call this function onLoad, so after saving the form it will reload and you will have the value but you need to save the form again to update the "new_field" value.

Here is the code if you are calling on save. I haven't test the code but it should work.

function getId(executionContext){ var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.data.save().then(function(){ if(formContext.getAttribute("new_field").getValue() == null){ var id = formContext.data.entity.getId(); var recordID =Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId(); Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field").setValue(recordID); } }); }

if it is not working onSave, then call this function onChange of modifiedon field. This gets updated each time save call has returned.

Hope this helps

Glad it worked. You can also try out the onChange event on modifiedon field.
