Refresh form after api update

Posted on by Sskod 105

Hello,

I'm creating a JS function onLoad of opportunity form, a JS function calls a custom action to do some operations then the custom action update attributes in the entity. actually I see updated fields when I refresh  twice, is there anyways to force the refresh ? I tried with Xrm.Page.data.refresh() in the answer of the webrequest call but it doesn't work.

Thank you

    You can call a javascript function in onload event.

    Please note this is short of unsupported customization .

    function retrieveFieldValue ()

    {

    setTimeout(function(){

    //Call web api.

    }, 3000);

    }

    Hello,

    I understand now your issue.

    In normal scenario if you received any data in client side you can set immediately to the UI , but in your case you need to reload as the data changes directly in Database and you don't have the data in client side.

    Seems you need to use settimeout  and after certain time you need to retrieve data through web API /FetchXML in client side and then set the value through JS.

    Hope this helps.

    Does by any chance your action use asynchronous workflows or plugins and subject entity isn't update immediately?

    Hello,

    Though the page will reload everything but it will work using this.

    Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(“<entity name>”, Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId());
