Apparently in earlier versions of Microsoft CRM it was possible to get record Guid in detail page of a record (eg: Account, Contact) using Javascript console, using synatax such as

Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId(); frames[0].Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

ref: /

I am unable to repeat this in CRM 2015.

> frames[0].Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
Unable to get property 'entity' of undefined or null reference


> Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
Unable to get property 'entity' of undefined or null reference

however:

> this

gives me dump that includes

USER_GUID: "{98D61030-7513-4EAA-A243-1D29FA99E0A0}",

Screen shot of IE Console

1 Answer 1

this is a change due to the new form rendering inside Dynamics CRM (also known as Turbo Forms)

you can try with

frames[1].Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
