Want to access CDS form fields from HTML web resource

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Inkey Solutions 93

Hi,

As per my understanding for the PowerApp portal we can design CDS entity form same as we do in D365 sales (aka MS CRM). I've developed the entity form and setup HTML web resource on that.

I would like to access the value of the CDS form field inside this HTML web resource. As per my knowledge, this should be achieved by window.parent.XRM.Page.getAttribute(). But, when I try to do so I'm not able to get the XRM object.

Am I missing something? Please advise. Any help would be much appreciated.

    well no, the portals is not running like a modern driven app and does not have access to the XRM object

    if you are in a page/entity form you can easily access your objects via normal JS/jQuery like $("field").val();
