Refresh Parent Entity form when updating a field (in Parent form) from Child Entity using Javascript

Posted on by Community Member

Hi everyone!

I am updating a field of the Parent Entity from the Child Entity's quick create form. So when the child record is saved , i use the CRM SDK to update a field in the Parent form.

I noticed that the updated value is displayed only with a refresh. I would like when i save the child record , to update the value and show it instantly , so i decided to refresh the parent entity form. I tried the

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(parentEntityName,parentEntityId) but it opens new window. I want to close the Quick create form and then refresh the parent form where i return to.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I don't think there is an Xrm method for this - you might, probably, figure out how to get back to the "parent" form through the window.parent.

Or, since it's javascript, you might add a function to the window.top(might just add this as a web resource - you probably don't even need an event handler on the "parent" form):

function OnQuickCreateClose()

{

}

window.top.OnQuickCreateClose = OnQuickCreateClose;

And might call that function from the onsave in your Quick Create.. although, you might want to add a timeout before calling refresh in that function (since you would want quick create to save the data first)

I did something similar for this:

var thisQuote = {

entityType: "quote",

id: Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()

};

Xrm.Utility.openQuickCreate(entityname, thisQuote, null).then(function (outObj) { successCallBack(outObj) }, function (error) { console.log(error.message) });

function successCallBack(outputObj){

setTimeout(function () { Xrm.Page.data.refresh(); }, 500);

}

The timeout is used to give the quick create form time to close when using turbo forms before it refreshes.

hi

other solution is use subgrid event like this:

var refreshForm= function () {Xrm.Page.data.refresh() }; Xrm.Page.getControl("Your SubgridName").addOnLoad(refreshForm);

Hi Shak,

As vahid suggested.

If you have subgrid of child entity in parent form, When ever you update child record the grid will be refreshed, On Sub grid refresh event you can reload your parent page.

Hi Shak, is this something that can also be done via the Portal? We have a similar scenario where we want to reload the portal page after a subgrid item has been edited.

Thanks
