Passing context to embedded Custom Page

Hi,

I know older Canvas Apps would use ModelDrivenFormIntegration object to handle getting the source record of the model-driven form.

Is this still the case with Custom Pages? I am trying in the Custom Page to get these values via Param("recordId") and Param("entityName"), but both return blank when loading custom page embedded in the model-driven form.

Is this possible? Do I have to go back to traditional canvas app using ModelDrivenFormIntegration?

I would prefer to use Custom Page if at all possible, but need to figure out how to obtain the source record.

Thanks!

Embedded Custom Page isn't receiving recordId and entityName from the host model-driven form:

Hi Wearsky, thanks!

I am just trying to load an embedded Custom Page when a main form opens - not open it as a modal or something via javascript after button press in main form.

Can javascript be used to load a Custom Page like in my screenshot? Or does it require ModelDrivenFormIntegration? Is there another solution?

Thanks!

Hi @taylorgmojo ,

At my knowledge, passing context variables to custom page requires calling the Xrm script.

So, if you want to show the 'canvas' in form, I think embedded canvas (ModelDrivenFormIntegration) is more suitable for you.

Understood. I just confirmed that if it is embedded you have to have ModelDrivenFormIntegration. Luckily if you just re-add the Custom Page to the form via Classic mode, you can retroactively add ModelDrivenFormIntegration to a Custom Page's controls so it is usable.
