Fields that are not valid were specified for the entity

When you try to import a solution to another environment if you get an error like this. That error is about field of incompatibility so you must find that incompatibility and delete that field from it there where you want to import

For example :

• You have a nvarchar field in development environment and have an integer field as same fieldname in test environment.
• new_age (string)  VS new_age (integer).

function formOnSave(context) {

    var saveEvt = context.getEventArgs();
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue() == null) {
        saveEvt.preventDefault();
    }
}

Dont forget to click “Pass execution context as first parameter” on Form Properties.

preventDefault : Cancels the save operation, but all remaining handlers for the event will still be executed.

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update 1 (v7.1), a new form renderer was built to provide better performance. You might have noticed it when you open up an account or contact, two loading screen flash by (requesting data from CRM and loading business logic) just before your record is loaded.

If you have heavy customizations on your current form, which result in the forms not behaving as intended, you can switch of the new rendering engine to diagnose the problem. Or otherwise around, if your organization is updated but is not using the new engine, you can switch it on by going to the System Settings – General – Use legacy form rendering.

• For Online CRM, maximum Batch Size is 1000. So, for Online CRM, maximum 1000 requests can be executed at a time.
• For On Premise, Batch Size can be increased.

// Create an ExecuteMultipleRequest object.
    requestWithResults = new ExecuteMultipleRequest()
    {
        // Assign settings that define execution behavior: continue on error, return responses. 
        Settings = new ExecuteMultipleSettings()
        {
            ContinueOnError = false,
            ReturnResponses = true
        },
        // Create an empty organization request collection.
        Requests = new OrganizationRequestCollection()
    };

    // Create several (local, in memory) entities in a collection. 
    EntityCollection input = GetCollectionOfEntitiesToCreate();

    // Add a CreateRequest for each entity to the request collection.
    foreach (var entity in input.Entities)
    {
        CreateRequest createRequest = new CreateRequest { Target = entity };
        requestWithResults.Requests.Add(createRequest);
    }

    // Execute all the requests in the request collection using a single web method call.
    ExecuteMultipleResponse responseWithResults =
        (ExecuteMultipleResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(requestWithResults);

    // Display the results returned in the responses.
    foreach (var responseItem in responseWithResults.Responses)
    {
        // A valid response.
        if (responseItem.Response != null)
            DisplayResponse(requestWithResults.Requests[responseItem.RequestIndex], responseItem.Response);

        // An error has occurred.
        else if (responseItem.Fault != null)
            DisplayFault(requestWithResults.Requests[responseItem.RequestIndex], 
                responseItem.RequestIndex, responseItem.Fault);
    }

Here is another example of changing the State and Status of records by ExecuteMultipleRequest.

for (int i = 0; i < records.Entities.Count; i++)
{
    SetStateRequest setStateReq = new SetStateRequest();
    setStateReq.EntityMoniker = new EntityReference();
    setStateReq.EntityMoniker.Id = records.Entities[i].Id;
    setStateReq.EntityMoniker.LogicalName = records.Entities[i].LogicalName;
    setStateReq.State = new OptionSetValue(0);
    setStateReq.Status = new OptionSetValue(1);
    req.Requests.Add(setStateReq);
}
 
var res = service.Execute(req) as ExecuteMultipleResponse;

Xrm.Page.data.save(saveOptions).then(successCallback, errorCallback)

Saves the record asynchronously with the option to set callback functions to be executed after the save operation is completed.

With Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update 1 or later you can also set an object to control how appointment, recurring appointment, or service activity records are processed.

Open different or same entity form after save :

Xrm.Page.data.save().then(
    function() {
       console.log("success");
       Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(entityname,recordId);
    },
    function(errorCode,message) {
       console.log(message);
    }
);

Reload form after save

Xrm.Page.data.save().then(
    function() {
      //save worked...
      Xrm.Page.data.refresh();
    },
    function() {
      console.log("save failed");
    }
);

window.location.reload(true); or location.reload(); or window.location = document.url;

These scripts cannot work for CRM 2013 and higher version. So you have to use callback functions after saving.
