Pass value from main form to quick create form in Model Driven Apps

Posted on by MVersantsund

Hello,

i am creating a model driven app and I want to pass a value form the main form to the quick create form. This value is really just the selected field the main form is currently showing.

I have tried executionContext.setSharedVariable on the main form and am trying to pass this via formContext.ui.setFormNotification to test if it is working, but the notification is empty (the notification appears when i pass a given string). Below is my code:

var RelationSetVarForQuickCreate = window.RelationSetVarForQuickCreate || {};

(function RelationSetVarForQuickCreate(){

this.formOnLoad = function (executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var mySharedVariable= formContext.getAttribute("logical column name of mySharedVariable").getValue();

formContext.ui.setFormNotification(mySharedVariable, "INFO", 1);

executionContext.setSharedVariable("mySharedVariable", mySharedVariable);

}

}).call(RelationSetVarForQuickCreate);

Hello,

I might be wrong but setSharedVariable i used to pass the data within events on the same form. Is there a chance you can use mapping to pass that data between forms? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/map-entity-fields

Hi @MVersantsund

The first thing I would look for is to make the mapping between the parent table (main form) and the Child entity (quick creation form) so that the values can be passed automatically.
In case this does not solve the entire scenario, I would use code and you can do it this way
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/map-entity-fields

function ObtenerCorreo(e) { debugger; // Get the Form Context var formContext = e.getFormContext(); // Set variables for the related entity to get data from try{var recordGuid = formContext.getAttribute("jm_profesor").getValue()[0].id; } catch(err) {} // If the recordGuid contains data if (recordGuid != null) { // Use the WebApi to get data Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("jm_profesor", recordGuid, "?$select=jm_nombre,jm_correoelectronico").then( // If successful, set variables for the results function success(result) { var CorreoElectronico = result.jm_correoelectronico; // Set the form fields formContext.getAttribute("emailaddress").setValue(CorreoElectronico); }, // If there's an error in the WebApi call, log the error and alert the user function (error) { console.log(error.message); // handle error conditions var errorMessage = 'Error: An error occurred in the GetRelatedInfo function: ' + error.message; var alertStrings = { confirmButtonLabel: "Yes", text: errorMessage }; var alertOptions = { height: 120, width: 260 }; Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog(alertStrings, alertOptions).then( function success(result) { console.log("Alert dialog closed"); }, function (error) { console.log(error.message); } ); } ); } }
