HI,

I need to know what code/ method I can use to set another Stage as Active(which is not completed) which should appear only based on certain condition on click of a button. I used the moveNext function but this doesn't seem to work.

Basically on click of the button:

I need to set a form field to the Stage name - which is working
Then I call the movenext function without any parameters - this is not working -- I need to save and refresh the form to see the next Stage appear but the Active stage still remains the old one. If I click on the button again the movenext seems to work and sets this Stage as Active.

Hope this makes sense.

Regards,

Anwesha

Hi Anwesha,

Please try to call the below javascript method on click of you button. You face this problem because of the dirty form.

moveNext = function (currentStage) {  
    var intervalId;   
    intervalId = setInterval(function () {
        pollingAttemptsRemaining -= 1;      
        if (Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveStage().getId() != currentStage) {
            clearInterval(intervalId);
        }       
        if (!Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty() && Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveStage().getId() == currentStage) {
            Xrm.Page.data.process.moveNext(onSetActiveStage);
            pollingAttemptsRemaining = 0;
            clearInterval(intervalId);
        }      
        if (pollingAttemptsRemaining <= 0) {
            clearInterval(intervalId);
        }
    }, 200);
}
onSetActiveStage = function (returnStatus) {
    switch (returnStatus) {
        case "success":
            break;
        case "crossEntity":
            alert("crossEntity!");
            break;
        case "unreachable":
            alert("unreachable stage");
            break;
        case "invalid":
            alert("invalid stage");
            break;
    }
},

You can pass the currentStage by getting it from this line of code

var stageID = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("stageid").getValue();

I found this solution from somewhere on web for one of my projects. But don't remember the original link.

Thanks
