MS Dynamics CRM & Unsaved Changes

Have you been making Javascript changes and all of a sudden your CRM form is showing unsaved changes for some reason and now your user is faced with an annoying alert not of their own doing when trying to navigate away?

This issue can arise for a couple of reasons, namely:

1. Javascript has touched a field onLoad and dirtied it
2. Javascript is running asynchronously onSave (such as making a AJAX/Fetch call that isn't blocking!) and messing up the save event.

I find it's usually the latter with me but the lovely snippet below run in the developer tools can help track down the fields which are causing issues.

Xrm.Page.data = Xrm.Page.data || frames[0].Xrm.Page.data || frames[1].Xrm.Page.data; Xrm.Page.data.entity.getDataXml()
