How to get/set Form header field in MS CRM 2011 and MS CRM 2013 !!!

There is no supported method in SDK to get and set form header field value using JavaScript. However, there is a workaround to achieve this just place field in Form Header and Form as well (You can hide field from Form in case of you don’t want to show the user). Then you can get and set the field values.

// to get field value

var Value=Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_field").getValue();

// to set field valuenew_field

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_field").setValue(100);

Why window.showModalDialog does not refresh

Problem

I have some pages that is opened by window.showModalDialog().  But why is it not refreshed?

• For example, when there is a compile error in the page, it will show it when opening it.  This is correct.  But after I correct the error, it will still show the same error.  I have to terminate ASP.NET worker process by issuing "iisreset" command.  Then it will show the corrected page.
• Or when some data is changed.  When I open that page, it will still show the old data.  Like it is using the browser's local cache.  After I clear the brower's cache, then it will show the updated data.

Solution

In IE7, go to Tools  |  Internet Options.  Click the Browsing History "Settings" button.  Check for newer versions of stored pages: and select "Everytime I visit the page"

Open an entity record in a new window in MS CRM 2013 by Javascript

In CRM 2013 opening an entity record differs from previous versions. While CRM 2011 was all about popup windows CRM 2013 has a flat HTML5 navigation style. But you can still open a record in a popup window.

To open an entity record in a new window pass the following query string parameters.

etn	The logical name of the entity
extraqs	Optional for forms (see Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK for 2013 documentation)
pagetype	entityRecord
id	The id of the entity
newWindow	true (undocumented)
histKey	a random numeric sequence (undocumented)

The following sample shows the URL and query string parameters to open an account record in a new window:

window.open("https://contoso.crm.dynamics.com/main.aspx?etn=account&extraqs=&histKey=469645694&id={02c2e648-0acd-41f0-9ca8-d8d131e5f47b}&newWindow=true&pagetype=entityrecord","","status=0,resizable=1,width=1000px,height=600px");
