executionContext.getEventArgs(...).preventDefault is not a function

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All, 

 

I'm trying to disable stage transition on a BPF for all users. 

 

Following the suggestion at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/events/onprestagechange I'm registering the below function on form load:

 

 

 

onLoad = (executionContext) => {
 //Attach pre-stage change handler
 formContext.data.process.addOnPreStageChange(() => { this.stageChangeWarning(executionContext) });
 };

 

 

 

The stageChangeWarning function looks like this: 

 

 

stageChangeWarning = (executionContext) => {
 //Compose notification obj
 const notification = {
 type: 2,
 level: 2,
 message: "This is automated process. Moving between stages from there is not allowed.",
 showCloseButton: true
 }
 //Prevent stage change.
 executionContext.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

 //Trigger notification.
 Xrm.App.addGlobalNotification(notification).then(function onSuccess(result) {
 //Remove noticication message after 10 seconds
 window.setTimeout(function () {
 Xrm.App.clearGlobalNotification(result);
 }, 10000);
 })

 };

 

 

However when I test it I receive "executionContext.getEventArgs(...).preventDefault is not a function" error & the form is saved as expected. 

 

Do you happen to know what I'm doing wrong here?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Parameters should be passed in the callback function.
