Hi,

I am working on a PCF control that populates data on the dynamics 365 form. I have found one from PCF gallery that creates a custom event window.dispatchEvent(customEvent) and JavaScript web resource listens to the event using window.parent.addEventListener. This seems to be working for me. However, Could anyone please let me know if window.parent.addEventListener is supported way on implementation in dynamics?

If this is not supported what is the best solution to update a form field from the PCF control?

Is window.parent.addEventListener supported?

Hi,

I have similar requirements, but in my case I am listening to an event inside my PCF component and window.dispatchEvent(customEvent) is raised by JS on D365 form. But It is not working and my event handler which I wrote in PCF’s index.ts never gets called.

I think from Dynamics point of view it should be good and supported, another way I'd explore is to use postMessage instead of dispatchEvent as the former one works across windows.
