CRM 2011 View custom entity data in iFrame on a form RRS feed

  • Question

  • I am having an issue with viewing custom entity in an iFrame on a form.  We have one entity called new_hbc and another entity called new_dhi_privatenotes with a 1:N relationship.  The new_dhi_privatenotes works like the out of the box Notes (annotation) but is just custom so we can control who sees it via security.

    I have an iframe on the form that i want to display the new_dhi_privatenotes record data for a new_hbc record.  The following works when I set the iFrame.src as "/_controls/notes/notesdata.aspx?id=8AF163CF-C645-E411-AA0A-00155D1C2871&ParentEntity=10006&EnableInlineEdit=true&EnableInsert-true".  The out of the box notes display fine and i can add and edit the standard notes (annotation).

    The following does not work to display the custom entity notes (new_dhi_privatenotes) in the iframe.  "/UserDefined/edit.aspx?id=8AF163CF-C645-E411-AA0A-00155D1C2871&ParentEntity=10006&EnableInlineEdit=true&EnableInsert=true"

    The "id" parameter in the URL's above is the primary key from the new_hbc record linking to the Annotation and new_dhi_privatenotes entity. The ParentEntity (10006) is the ObjectTypeCode value of the new_hbc entity.

    I receive the error message "An error has occurred.  Try this action again. If the problem continues...".

  • You could get an error like that if your URL is malformed. It's possible that the query string is incorrect - this has happened to me in the past. To find out the correct way to reference the record, open it up in a browser and make sure that you can see its URL - you'll then need to use this URL in your code where the guid is updated so that it's dynamically filled in based on the information in your form.
