Dynamics 365 Ribbon Workbench Modal Dialog Opens in new Tab

I have a custom button called "Sync Task" added to my Dynamics 365 app using the classic and new unified interface. The custom button is suppose to open a Web Resource HTML page in a Modal Dialog when clicked... but instead opens it in a new tab.

Classic Interface Button

Unified Interface Button

It opens the page in a new tab at the Web Resource location instead. Not sure what I could be doing wrong.

Solution

  • MSDN says:

    Don’t use this action to open entity forms or web resources. Use the <JavaScriptFunction> (RibbonDiffXml) with a function that uses Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm or Xrm.Utility.openWebResource instead.

    The latest v9 syntax:

    Xrm.Navigation.openWebResource(webResourceName,windowOptions,data)
