Using dataset.opendatasetitem

Currently the dataset sample doesn't use opendatasetitem

Is there any reason for this? Using opendatasetitem has the advantage that if there is a CommandBar Command for Mscrm.OpenRecordItem - it will use that instead.

Also - the documented API isn't quite correct it seems. It is documented as accepting an EntityReference

but in fact it needs something like:

var entityRef = {
 LogicalName:logicalName,
 id:id
};
this._context.parameters.sampleDataSet.openDatasetItem(entityRef);

hi Scott,

Regarding the bug about openDataSetItem input argument, we will fix this and we expect it will release to North America at end of October. Thanks for reporting!

Your suggestion on openDataSetItem should be in sample is correct. I do not remember details, but I feel it should be:

1) We need to present 'context.navigation.openForm' sample in whole sample suite, which we thought is a more significant API than openDataSetItem

and 2) The bug you mentioned

That made us choose the 'openForm'.
