    Hi,

    I want to send mail from custom entity by clicking on button.  I created custom entity, button.  When I click on the button it will call email activity.  I did set up default subject  as name of the account.  But I could not set regarding field by default.  I got error: Object expected when loading the form. Please help me to solve this issue.

    I have got few solution but it did not work.  Please find below the java code I have used for this.

    1.  I created 3 parameters. parameter_regardingid,parameter_regardingname,parameter_regardingtype on the form parameters as shown below screen-shot. Publish the form.

    2. I added below java code in form onload of custom entity and publish

    function Form_onload()
    {

    var param=Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters();
    var regardingId=param["parameter_regardingid"];
    var regardingName=param["parameter_regardingname"];
    var regardingType=param["parameter_regardingtype"];
    if (regardingId != undefined)
    {
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“regardingobjectid”).setValue([{id:regardingId, name:regardingName, entityType:regardingType}]);
    }

    }

    3. I added below java codes on button event.

    function sendmail()
    {

    var parameters = {};

    var Regarding = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“regardingobjectid”).getValue();

    parameters["parameter_regardingid"] = Regarding[0].id;

    parameters["parameter_regardingname"] = Regarding[0].name;

    parameters["parameter_regardingtype"] = Regarding[0].entityType;

    Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("email",null,parameters);

    }

     IN case youwant to add button on form create a multilinetext field add it ot form and remember that field schemaname

     Now open form properties. 

     Create a javascript resource file with following code. new_validationbutton is your field name. ctrl.innerHTML=btn is actually replacing  ctrl.innerHTML with button HTML code. 

    function contactsOnLoad(){ 
      convertWebResourceToButton('new_validatebutton', 'Build Condition', '150px', '3px');
    }
     
    function convertWebResourceToButton(fldName, btnLabel, btnWidth, leftMargin){ 
       var btn = '<button id="btn_' + fldName + '" ' + 
                           ' style="margin-left:' + leftMargin + ';width:' + btnWidth + ';" ' + 
                           ' class="ms-crm-Button" ' + 
                           ' onmouseover="Mscrm.ButtonUtils.hoverOn(this);" ' + 
                          ' onmouseout="Mscrm.ButtonUtils.hoverOff(this);" ' + 
                        '>' + btnLabel + '</button>'; 
      
      var ctrl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(fldName)._control.get_element().childNodes[0];
    
      // Replace controlewith buttom 
      ctrl.innerHTML = btn; 
     
      // Add Event to the newly created button 
      ctrl.firstChild.attachEvent('onclick', ShowModal);
return false;
    
   }
