Hi, guys!

There is "Parent Main Form" and Subgrid in it.

I click on "New" in Subgrid's command bar. "Quick Create Form" is open.

I make some changes and press "Save&Close".

Subgrid has been refreshed and I can see a new record, but I need to catch the event after that "update".

The event inside Parent main form. OnLoad isn't called.

I there a way to catch it?

No OOB JS function to do that but you can register SetTimeout function to refresh the parent form on save event of the quick create from (formContext.data.entity.addOnSave(function(){refreshParentForm()});
refreshParentForm(){
setTimeout(function () { Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then(successCallback, errorCallback); }, 1000);}

@EmadBeshai I tested. It works, but the parent form opens by defaults -> the first tab is active.
OK, I believe it is possible to fix the active tab, but standard button "Go back" navigates to the same parent form. So I have to press the button twice to go back to the list.

@EmadBeshai thanks for trying to help me.

Hi @Max77 ,
Nice to hear that helped you, but I preferer to create a specific main form and pass the form id instead of showing all tabs that you may not need.
const FORMID = "A696976B-EA8A-42F3-B4DC-F35DC9204D58"; var formContext = primaryControl; var parameters = { formid: FORMID }; var entityFormOptions = {}; entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "new_entity_name"; var recordId = formContext.data.entity.getId(); var recordName = formContext.getAttribute("new_name").getValue(); if (recordId != null) { parameters["new_targetentityfieldid"] = recordId; } if (recordName != null) { parameters["new_targetentityfieldname"] = recordName; } Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, parameters);

@EmadBeshai I have solved the issue.

1. Use Ribbon Workbench to add a new Button (JS function) to Subgrid
2. The new func navigates (Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo) to Main Form of Subgrid record. I can use createFromEntity to catch an attribute i need.
3. It calls success after Subgrid Main form is closed.

formContext = Xrm.Page; let createFromEntity = { entityType: "pbl_doc_purchase", id: formContext.data.entity.getId().replace(/[{}]/g, ""), name: "pbl_owner" }; let pageInput = { pageType: "entityrecord", entityName: "pbl_doc_purchase_vt_goods", createFromEntity: createFromEntity }; let navigationOptions = { target: 2, height: { value: 80, unit: "%" }, width: { value: 30, unit: "%" }, position: 2 }; Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then( function success(result) { //Here you can call the func you need //alert("Record created with ID: " + result.savedEntityReference[0].id + " Name: " + result.savedEntityReference[0].name); }, function error() { } );
In that case it navigates to Main Form - not Quick create, but I got the similar form behavior.
I'll try to figure out how to navigate to a quick form.
