Pass Parameters to Forms in MS CRM

 In Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you can pass parameters to forms by using the "OpenForm" function in JavaScript. This function allows you to open a form and pass in any number of parameters to pre-populate the fields on the form.

Here's an example of how you might use the "OpenForm" function to open a contact form and pre-populate the "Fullname" field:

var parameters = {}; parameters["fullname"] = "John Smith"; Xrm.Navigation.openForm({ entityName: "contact", useQuickCreateForm: false, parameters: parameters });

In this example, we first create an object called "parameters" and add a key-value pair to it with the key "fullname" and the value "John Smith". Next, we call the "openForm" function and pass in the entity name "contact" and the parameters object. The "useQuickCreateForm" parameter set to false, it will open the main form of the entity.

You can also pass multiple parameters by adding more key-value pairs to the "parameters" object:

var parameters = {}; parameters["fullname"] = "John Smith"; parameters["email"] = "johnsmith@example.com"; parameters["phone"] = "123-456-7890"; Xrm.Navigation.openForm({ entityName: "contact", useQuickCreateForm: false, parameters: parameters });

It's important to note that the parameter name must match the logical name of the attribute in the CRM, otherwise the parameter will not be populated.

You can also pass parameters to the forms while opening it via the command bar or ribbon buttons. You need to define the function to pass the parameters and call it on the button.

In summary, passing parameters to forms in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a useful way to pre-populate fields on a form and save time for the user. You can use the "OpenForm" function in JavaScript and pass in any number of parameters to pre-populate the fields on the form. Additionally, you can also pass parameters via command bar or ribbon buttons by defining the function to pass the parameters and calling it on the button.
