    Respected Community Members,

     I have a requirement to Update Contact Field from JScript in CRM2013 where I am calling below function, but it doesn't work. The error says:- " SDK.JQuery.updateRecord requires the id parameter".

    the alert displays the ContactId as GUID correctly. I also uploaded JSON2/JQuery1.4.1/SDK.JQuery.js and added that library into Contact form library.

    Am I missing something here?? Please assist.

    function updateContact(ContactId) {
try {
 var contact = {};
var customefieldvalue = new Date().toDateString();
contact.customefield = customefieldvalue ;
alert(contact);
alert(ContactId);
alert(customefieldValue);
 
 SDK.JQuery.updateRecord(
     ContactId,
     contact,
     "contact",
     function () {
      writeMessage("The contact record changes were saved");
      deleteContact(ContactId);
     },
     errorHandler
   );

 } catch (ex) { alert('JavaScript Error In updateContact:' + ex.description); }
}

function deleteContact(ContactId){
alert('delete contact');
}

function errorHandler(error) {
 writeMessage(error.message);
}

//Helper function to write data to this page:
function writeMessage(message) {
 $("<li>" + message + "</li>").appendTo(output);
}

    For starters, you need to reference the entity by Schema Name. So the lowercase "contact" should be "Contact"

    SDK.JQuery.updateRecord(
     ContactId,
     contact,
     "Contact",
     function () {
      writeMessage("The contact record changes were saved");
      deleteContact(ContactId);
     },
     errorHandler
   );

    I'm assuming your alert on the ContactId displays a valid CRM Contact record Id...

    Jason,

    Thanks you were right. I tried the uppercase and changed the contactID input using Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId(); method and it did work. After changing using JScript i used Xrm.Page.data.refresh(); method and it did refresh the data correctly onto page as well. The only thing i had to make sure was to use the SchemaName(Which is usually Uppercase/LowerCase ) instead of its Name/DisplayName.

    function updateContact(ContactId) {
try {
 var contact = new Object();
var customefieldvalue = new Date().toDateString();
contact.CustomField = customefieldvalue ;
Var ContactIDString = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
 SDK.JQuery.updateRecord(
     ContactIDString,
     contact,
     "Contact",
     function () {
      writeMessage("The contact record changes were saved");
      deleteContact(ContactId);
     },
     errorHandler
   );

 } catch (ex) { alert('JavaScript Error In updateContact:' + ex.description); }
}

function deleteContact(ContactId){
alert('delete contact');
Xrm.Page.data.refresh();
}

function errorHandler(error) {
 writeMessage(error.message);
}

//Helper function to write data to this page:
function writeMessage(message) {
 $("<li>" + message + "</li>").appendTo(output);
}

    Thanks,

    Jason,

            Thanks for the update. I tried lower case and upper case, but still same error.

            The alert message  display valid CRM Contact ID with brackets {....}. so I tried hard coded string without bracket, but it error out completely and it doesn't work at all.

            Do I need to set up any thing in CRM, to have this working?? or do I need to reference other scripts into this JScript file??

             Please assist.

    Thanks,

    Nick
