You might be aware of how to open CRM entity form using javascript function that was introduced in Dynamics CRM 2013 i.e. Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm()<\/p>\n

If you are not then you can refer our blog about this feature here<\/a>. We use openEntityForm function to open blank entity form or entity form with pre populated values.<\/p>\n

In CRM 2013 there was new feature introduced called Quick Create Form<\/strong>, using quick create form user can quickly create new record by staying on the same page.<\/p>\n

The quick create form opens as below,<\/p>\n

\"form\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there was no function or an option to open such quick creates form programmatically.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we may need to open Quick create form programmatically. Microsoft has introduced new function in Dynamics CRM 2015 Online Update 1 to open quick create form same as open entity form.<\/p>\n

This blog will illustrate how to open Quick create form.<\/p>\n

Now there is one function available under Xrm.Utitlity called ‘openQuickCreate’ that open entity open form as shown in above screen shot.<\/p>\n

Syntax,<\/p>\n

Xrm.Utility.openQuickCreate(entityLogicalName<\/em>,createFromEntity<\/em>,parameters<\/em>).then(successCallback<\/em>, errorCallback<\/em>);<\/p>\n

Here,<\/p>\n

entityLogicalName<\/strong>: Accept string value. Pass logical name of entity for which we need to open quick create form,<\/p>\n

createFromEntity<\/strong>: Accept a lookup object, Pass lookup object that will provide default values based on mapped attributes values.<\/p>\n

parameters<\/strong>: Accept a object, pass extra querystring parameters. We can pass field values as a parameter to set field values on the quick create form.<\/p>\n

successCallback<\/strong>: This is a function that will call when record is created. It returns a lookup object of created record.<\/p>\n

errorCallback<\/strong>: This is a function that will be called when error occurred. It returns errorCode<\/strong> and message.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From all above parameter only entityLogicalName is required and others are optional.<\/p>\n

Below is an example where we will open Quick Create form to create a new child account from account entity form with some pre populated values.<\/p>\n

\/\/lookup object of current account record<\/p>\n

var parrentAccount = {<\/p>\n

\u00a0entityType: “account”,<\/p>\n

\u00a0id: Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()<\/p>\n

};<\/p>\n

var parameters = { name: “Child account of ” + Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“name”).getValue(), address1_postalcode: Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“address1_postalcode”).getValue() };<\/p>\n

Xrm.Utility.openQuickCreate(“account”, parrentAccount,parameters ).then(function (lookup) { successCallback(lookup); }, function (error) { errorCallback(error); });<\/p>\n

function successCallback(lookup)<\/p>\n

{<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 window.console.log(“lookup: ” + lookup.savedEntityReference.id);<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n

function errorCallback(e){<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 window.console.log(“Error: ” + e.errorCode +” “+e.message);<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n

Above code opens a quick create form with auto populating name and postal code from parent account.<\/p>\n

\"form1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The successCallback() calls when you save the record.<\/p>\n

Hope it helps!<\/p>\n
