Unsupported filtering of subgrids in Dynamics 365 (CRM 2016)


Hi,

In one of the projects which was recently upgraded to CRM 2016 Online Update 1, legacy form rendering was being used. So, we were analyzing how the new form rendering will affect the existing JavaScript.

One of the unsupported JavaScript that was being used was for sub-grid filtering.

The interesting thing was that it works in CRM 2016 Online Update 1 for legacy form rendering but fails in case of new form rendering (turbo form).

For turbo forms, we get the following objects as null

I couldn’t find any workaround of implementing the same in case of turbo forms. The only possible solution that I could think of is either using Quick View Form with Subgrid control inside it or through a html web resource.

Hope it helps..

      1. what about :
        var ContactsIFollow = {
        entityType: 1039, // SavedQuery
        id:”{3A282DA1-5D90-E011-95AE-00155D9CFA02}”,
        name: “Contacts I Follow”
        }
        //Set the view using ContactsIFollow
        Xrm.Page.getControl(“Contacts”).getViewSelector().setCurrentView(ContactsIFollow);

  1. Hii. I use folowing code for CRM2016 with turbo forms.

    var budget_resources = parent.document.getElementById(“budget_resources”);
    if (budget_resources == null || budget_resources.control == null) {
    setTimeout(function () { THE_FUNCTION_NAME(); }, 500); //if the grid hasn’t loaded run this again
    return;
    }
    var fetchXml = “<fetch version='1.0'…..
    budget_resources.control.SetParameter("fetchXml", fetchXml); //set the fetch xml to the sub grid
    budget_resources.control.Refresh(); //refresh the sub grid using the new fetch xml

  2. We need to use window.parent.document.getElementById to read GridName
    Wait for the control to load in the DOM before Setting to control

    //fetch xml code

    var fetchXml = “”;
    if (Grid.control != null)
    {
    Grid.control.SetParameter(“fetchXml”, fetchXml); //set the fetch xml to the sub grid
    Grid.control.refresh(); //refresh the sub grid using the new fetch xml
    }
    else
    {
    setTimeout(filterSubGridFunction, 500);
    }
