In a 1:N relationship, when you add a new child record from within a parent form, it will open up the child form with data pre-populated from parent entity based on mapping provided in 1:N relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to add a custom button to replicate the same behaviour, we can use the following code:<\/p>\n

var parameters = {};
\nvar childEntityName=”contact”;<\/p>\n

\/\/Provide parent record guid
\nparameters[“_CreateFromId”] = “08A03761-0996-E311-BC31-00155D000807”;<\/p>\n

\/\/Provide parent record entity type code
\nparameters[“_CreateFromType”] = “1”;<\/p>\n

\/\/provide child entity name and pass parameter to open new record
\nXrm.Utility.openEntityForm(childEntityName, null, parameters);<\/p>\n

Parameters:<\/p>\n

\u2022 _CreateFromId: Pass parent entity record\u2019s GUID<\/p>\n

\u2022 _CreateFromType: Pass parent entity type code<\/p>\n

\u2022 childEntityName: Child entity name which need to open with mapping field<\/p>\n
