OpenDatasetItem resulting in generic error

Posted on by JasonAlmeida

Hello!

I'm attempting to use the openDatasetItem function but i'm hitting a generic error - "Loading chunk 5 failed. " (screenshot attached)

here's the code i'm using:

var recordRef: ComponentFramework.EntityReference = {
 entityType: recType,
 id: recId,
 name: recName
 };
context.parameters.mapDataSet.openDatasetItem(recordRef);

I also noticed that the url that's generated may have an error in it (attached image) - the entity type (the 'etn' parameter) is listed as undefined as opposed to 'account'

cheers

hi,

We are fixing this openDataSetItem and it will use entityType and will be released at about early November, depending on our release plan.

Meanwhile, please try some work-around like context.navigation.openForm

@HemantG - I think Scott's posts contradicts what i'm experiencing. The documentation to use EntityReference for OpenDataSetItem matches what i had to supply, but there seems to be a bug in the actual function.

@AnqiChen Thanks for confirming the bug! I'll use openForm for now 🙂
