Auto-Save New Form Record to Enable Business Process Flow (BPF) in Model Driven App

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 439 Season of Giving Solutions 2025

Hi all,

 

I determined the reason a Business Process Flow that I'd configured (for a Form in a Model Driven App) was not working was because the new record had to be saved first. From a user experience perspective this seems sub-optimal - as the user of an App if I was to create a new record, I do not think it would be intuitive that I'd have to then save the record immediately before starting to work with it.

 

I'm fairly new to BPFs and assume that there must be a workaround for this. For example, is there a way to configure the Model Driven app to immediately save a record, upon that record's creation (by a user clicking 'New' within a Form with then App), such that the BPF will then activate 'immediately' from the point of view of the user?

 

As always I've conduced some research via Google searches. I saw some quite old Dynamics-related commentary about editing Javascript, but these threads were from 2017. I'm assuming this must have been addressed since then.

 

Any help on this would be much appreciated - thank you!

    For the benefit of anyone reading this thread in the future, I spoke with a Subject Matter Expert and to my surprise they confirmed the functionality I described in the first post on this thread is not available.
