Open Entity Record as a Modal Popup in Dynamics 365 CE Release Wave 1 2020

Hi Everyone,

Today I was testing new features of PowerApps Release Wave 1 2020 in trial instance and found that now we can open Entity record as a popup. 

Here is the piece of code and it is supported only for opening existing records in the system.

Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo({

        pageType: "entityrecord",

        entityName: "contact",

        formType: 2, // Only Edit Mode is supported now.

        entityId: "27f1a9f5-936d-ea11-a811-000d3a3e14c7"

    }, {

        target: 2,

        position: 1,

        width: 900,

        height: 600

    });

We can also open the record in a specific form by just providing the formId. Try below.

Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo({

        pageType: "entityrecord",

        entityName: "contact",

        formType: 2, // Only Edit Mode is supported now.

        formId: "293c878f-f068-40a0-ae48-4297e060871c",

        entityId: "27f1a9f5-936d-ea11-a811-000d3a3e14c7"

    }, {

        target: 2,

        position: 1,

        width: 700,

        height: 600

    });

Hope this helps.

Happy 365'ing
