Execute Javascript on Parent Form when Child form closes

[charles267]

Hi there,

For a related item list, we are closing the child form using "SP.UI.ModalDialog.commonModalDialogClose(SP.UI.DialogResult.Cancel)" which closes the child form. We would, however, like to execute some javascript on the parent form after this child form closes. Any idea how this can be done? Thanks!

Hello, Charles!
Yes, there is a way to do it. Use JavaScript editor from the New Form of Child element and code similar to this:

Code: Select all

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function() { 
     
     //Here you can access all the elements from the Parent Form with this code:
    window.top.fd.field("Name of Your field")...
    
    //And this will close the dialog box after executing the code
    SP.UI.ModalDialog.commonModalDialogClose(0); 
     
}, "sp.ui.dialog.js");
