The Xrm.Utility provides functions that can be used in client side scripting. In CRM 2015 Update 1, one of these functions is openQuickCreate. This function is used to open a new quick create form in CRM.

It can be called as below:

Xrm.Utility.openQuickCreate(entityLogicalName,createFromEntity,parameters).then(successCallback, errorCallback);

entityLogicalName – Logical name of an entity like an account, contact etc. It is a required parameter.

createFromEntity - Lookup parameter that provides default values based on mapped attribute values.

parameters – Querystring parameters used to populate the values on the newly created form.

successCallback – Call back function called on successful creation of record.

errorCallback – Function called when the operation fails.

var objCurrentAccount= {
entityType: "account",
id: Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()
};
var callback = function (obj) {
console.log("Created new account with id:" + obj.savedEntityReference.id);
}
var objChildAccount= {
name: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue(),
telephone1:Xrm.Page.getAttribute("telephone1").getValue(),
fax:Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fax").getValue()
};
Xrm.Utility.openQuickCreate("account", objCurrentAccount, objChildAccount).then(callback, function (error) { console.log(error.message);
});
