How to list all CRM fields which are dirty in console?


I have been looking for a way to get the list of all dirty fields in the CRM form to determine the what was changed and need to be saved in the browser console. This will help me debugging the javascript or other CRM related issues in general

How can i achieve this ?


Solution

  • You can use the following code for your reference

    var attribs = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();
    

    to get the list of all fields in the from and then call the function getIsDirty() for it as

    var filterDirty = attribs.filter(function(elem,index,attribs){   
            var name =  elem.getName();
            return (Xrm.Page.getAttribute(name).getIsDirty() === true);
    });
    

    Now the filterDirty will hold an array of all the dirty fields and you can just print it with the map as

    filterDirty.map(function(e){ console.log(e.getName()); });
    

    Note: Just make sure Xrm is available you can see why there is additional bit of code before the what i described above from here

    the whole code will look something like this for you

    // get the correct frame
    for(var i=0;i<5;i++) //loop through 0 to 4
        if(frames[i].Xrm.Page.ui != undefined) //check if undefined    
        {
            Xrm = frames[i].Xrm;  //assign Xrm
            console.info("~: Xrm updated with frame " + i + " :~"); //show info
            break; //breakout the loop
        }
    
    //Query
    var attribs = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();
    
    //Filter
    var filterDirty = attribs.filter(function(elem,index,attribs){   
            var name =  elem.getName();
            return (Xrm.Page.getAttribute(name).getIsDirty() === true);
    });
    
    //print
    filterDirty.map(function(e){
      console.log(e.getName()); 
    });
