How to avoid page refresh post successful data insert using Entity Form

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi Experts,

I am having an Entity form which inserts the data to an Entity but we have two option "On-Success" i.e

1. Redirect to Page.

2. Success Message.

In the first case, my page needs to redirect to some other page or URL and in 2nd case, my page is refreshing on success data insert by displaying a message.

But I don't want to refresh or redirect it to another page.

How can I avoid to refresh or redirect a page on success data insert by Entity form?

Please help me with this.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi @Anonymous
i think, portals use asp.net in the backend with postback of the form to the server.
So, putting data to the ~~crm~~cds means to postback the page so you always have a roundtrip.
There is an announced feature to allow crud operations for portals. Public preview should come out this month according to this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2020wave1/microsoft-powerapps/planned-features
But then you would have to write the frontentcode by yourself as the "normal" way won't work. This could be done by a script going over your form and submitting the values by that service (which may be not easy as it would have to find out, what is plain text, what is a number, what is a lookup (oh, thats easy) and so on in order to make the right request to the backend.
You can build workarounds for this kind of feature but i would wait for the feature to try it out.

Hope this helps,
Christian

You can actually leave the "On Success" not selected, as it is a non-mandatory field

my personal opinion is that it makes the UX pretty bad, the user won't get any feedback from the system
if you have any other logic providing the user this feedback, it shouldn't be an issue
