Custom Button | onclick function to open a pop-up form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Newmayer2384

Hi,

first I will let you know what I am trying to achieve.

 

I got an readyOnly form and my client wants a custom button to edit only one field (a status).  

So far I did manage to create a custom button, however I have not the expertise to write a javascript in order to link the button with a form neither to make the form appear as a pop-up window. 

 

Could anyone provide me help with writing a javascript to link a button to a specific form plus to let the form appear as a pop-up on the onlick event.

 

Thank you very very much!

    Hi, do you need it to be via a pop-up window? 

     

    The easiest/simplest way to achieve your requirement, would be having your Entity Form as Edit mode, and set all fields (besides your status field) as read-only in the Dataverse form.. this way those fields wouldn't be updated when you submit the form

     

    another thing to mention is that if the status field is the OOB Status Reason, I have the feeling you can't update that via Portals, you would need a workflow or Web API to update that

     

    Another possible approaches for what you need:

    • Use classic Workflows and add them to your Entity Form, this would appear as a button in your form.. so basically you can have different buttons for "Mark record as XXX", and this would trigger the workflow which would update the record
    • Other option would be using Web API which is what I think what you are trying to do.. that would work but it seems too much work in my opinion 

Under review
