Refresh Form Page after Save

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am working on a model-driven form. On the form I have a section that has a canvas app component. Whenever I change data on the form, I want the canvas app component to immediately update so that I don't have to press refresh on the command bar. Is it possible to write a js script that automatically refreshes the section or entire form on save?

Hello, @Anonymous, You can create a Javascript web-resource with a function that's called on your Save Event.

Try something like this: (Using formContext.data.refresh(save) >> I set it to false to not save as the script will run on the save event)
function RefreshOnSave(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.data.refresh(false) }

Regards,

Ahmed

Hi Ahmed,
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this did not resolve my issue. It seems to just refresh the data and not reload the form page.

Regards,
Valentin

@Anonymous, try this function to reload the full page:

function refreshPage(){ Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName(), Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()); }

@AhmedSalih Wow this worked like a charm, thank you so much!
Also an fyi for people using this solution in the future, methods in the Xrm.Utility namespace are being depreciated, so use Xrm.Navigation.openForm instead 🙂

@AhmedSalihCould you clarify what you mean whit adding the function.
Do you add it as a javascript in the onSave function?

Hi this JS almost worked for me but needed a small tweak. I added a delay because otherwise the form would refresh as a blank form. Not perfect but works for me.

function refreshPage(){
setTimeout(function() {Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName(),
Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId());}, 300);
}
