Hi Bhavin , Okay, I understand your problem. Because you are using BWC you cannot initiate your plugin. In order to add your plugin into your BWC modules. You need to customise bwc view of sidecar. Create a file ./custom/clients/base/views/bwc/bwc.js with following code block; /*
 * Your installation or use of this SugarCRM file is subject to the applicable
 * terms available at
 * support.sugarcrm.com/.../ .
 * If you do not agree to all of the applicable terms or do not have the
 * authority to bind the entity as an authorized representative, then do not
 * install or use this SugarCRM file.

({
 'extendsFrom': 'BwcView',
 initialize: function (options) {
 if ( this.plugins.indexOf('MergeDuplicates') == -1 ) 
 this.plugins.push('MergeDuplicates');
 console.log("initialize", this.plugins);
 this._super('initialize', [options]);
 },
})
 Then you need to change your test.js like this; var do_magic = function() { 
 console.log("Magic!"); 
 var self = this; 
 // You need to set this module name with records for merging
 var mergeModule = "Accounts";

//getting app from parent window
 var app = window.parent.SUGAR.App;
 console.log("app", app);
 
 //accessing bwc view
 var bwcView = app.controller.layout._components[0];
 //getting existing bwc module name a side
 var previousContextModule = bwcView.context.get("module");
 //hacking bwc module context for mergeDuplicates drawer
 bwcView.context.set("module", mergeModule);
 console.log("bwcView", bwcView);
 
 var bwcView_plugins = app.controller.layout._components[0].plugins;
 console.log("bwcView_plugins", bwcView_plugins);
 //init collection for given merge module
 var records = app.data.createBeanCollection(mergeModule); 
 records.fetch({ 
 'filter':[{ 
 "id": { 
 '$in':[ 
 'a0d1575b-b89a-852e-8e67-5795e4dee355', 
 '955d508f-4a8e-6bdf-b449-5795e4d41fb1' 
 ] 
 } 
 }], 
 success: function (collection) { 
 console.log(collection);
 //open merge duplicates drawer
 bwcView.mergeDuplicates(collection); 
 },
 //this will run every after ajax call without its state(success or fail)
 complete: function () {
 //setting back the context module
 bwcView.context.set("module", previousContextModule);
 console.log("bwcView reset context", bwcView);
 } 
 }) 
};
 I've tested it works full functional. Best Regards Tevfik T&uuml;mer Developer Support Engineer
