Question

You are writing a JavaScript function for a model-driven app's Account form OnLoad event. The function must read and update fields on the form. Your organization enforces current best practices for the Client API object model and prohibits deprecated globals. How should your function obtain the object needed to access form data?

Accepted Answer

Register the handler with 'Pass execution context as first parameter' enabled, then call executionContext.getFormContext() to obtain the form context.

Answer

Use the global Xrm.Page object directly inside the function to access form attributes and controls.

Answer

Call Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord in the function to fetch the record, then bind the returned values to the form manually.

Answer

Use Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext() to obtain the context and read the form attributes from it.
