使用Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm（）覆盖不同记录中的字段

Question

I am currently utilizing Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm to pass field values to a different record in crm.

I want to be able to overwrite the existing field values in the destination record with the parameter values I send with the method.

My current code line looks like this:

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("account", GUID, parameters);

The GUID is obtained through a lookup field in the current form, as well as the parameters.

The code currently navigates to the specified record based on the GUID and writes the parameters to only the empty fields. Non empty fields are not affected by this.

I understand that the current approach may not be the best option for working with existing records. I want to be able to overwrite existing fields; am I going in the right direction?

There are some points to be considered while we are trying to set values using OpenEntityForm like values passed cant be script, values passed must be valid as per the data type and so on. MSDN documentation here has some more details on this. Hope this guides you closer to solving the issue.
