Code to keep the count of a Record has been modified

Hello All,

An interesting request came from customer to find a way that how many times a record has been updated after creation and if Plug-in can be avoided.

I just implemented the request with small JavaScript.
Here is the code that you have write on the load of the form:

updatecounter is the function that determines if the Form is Create Mode or Update mode and then set the value to a custom field in the form called "Counter".

Javascript Function:

function updatecounter()
{
var FormType = Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType();
var count = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("Replace_with_Your_Field_Name").getValue();

if (FormType == 1)  // Checks if the form is in create mode

{

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("Replace_with_Your_Field_Name").setValue('0'); // Sets the value of the field to 0
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("Replace_with_Your_Field_Name").setSubmitMode("always"); // Force submit as field is read only.

}

if (FormType == 2 && Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty()) // Checks if the form is in update mode and if anything changed in the form.

{
    count = parseInt(count)+1;
    count = count.toString();
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("Replace_with_Your_Field_Name").setValue(count);
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("Replace_with_Your_Field_Name").setSubmitMode("always");
}
}

Save the customization and Publish.

This is pretty much it is.

Result :
