How to disable Auto-Save in Dynamics 365 for Specfic form

How to disable auto-save for a form

If you wish to disable auto-save for specific entity forms, you can do this by adding code to the OnSave event in the entity form.

1. Create a JavaScript web resource and add it to the form

• Enter the following information in the web resource form:
  • Name: preventAutoSave
  • Display Name: Prevent Auto Save
  • Type: Script (JScript)
• Next to the Type field, choose Text Editor.
• In the Source field, paste the following code (see code box below to copy):

function preventAutoSave(econtext) {
    var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();
    if (eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 70 || 
eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 2) {
        eventArgs.preventDefault();
    }
}

• Add the web resource to the Form

2. Configure the OnSave event

• In the Form Properties window, in the Event Handlers section, set Event to OnSave.
• Enter the following in the Handler Properties:
  • Type ‘preventAutoSave’ in the Function field. This is case sensitive. Do not include quotation marks.
  • Make sure that Enabled is checked.
  • Check Pass execution context as first parameter.
• If there are any other event handlers for the OnSave event, use the green arrows to move this one to the top

Auto-save will now be disabled for the form, but data can still be saved by clicking the Auto save button in the lower-right corner. If users attempt to navigate away from a form or close a form where data has been changed, they will get a prompt to save their changes before they can navigate away or close the form.
