Posted on by MichelSteen

Hi,

I've tried many things but i can't seem to work it out. Searched far and wide on this forum and found many posts but none of them anwser my question:

I want to Hide a tab based on a lookup value. This code below does work, as in, it hides the tab. However: it ALWAYS hide the tab. I've tried matching on the name field, ID field. I've tried single quotations, double ....

Yes: i know this code if faulty since it will break if the lookup is empty, hence it needs second If statement validating the lookup actually has a value. Please disregard that error and hopefully someone can point out the error:

function HideContractenTabOnLoad(executionContext)

{
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var tabObj = formContext.ui.tabs.get("Contracten");

if (formContext.getAttribute("icarus_typecontact").getValue()[0].icarus_contacttype == "Deelnemer")
{
tabObj.setVisible(false)
}
}

Hi Michel,

If you're trying to compare the value Deelnemer with the value of the lookup, you can do it this way.

var lookupObject = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname"); //get the Lookup Object if (lookupObject != null) { var lookupObjectValues = lookupObject.getValue();//get the Lookup Value if (lookupObjectValues != null) { var Recordid = lookupObjectValues[0].id; //get the Lookup id var RecordName = lookupObjectValues[0].name; //get the Lookup Name var EntitySchemaName = lookupObjectValues[0].entityType; //get the Lookup EntityName }

In this example, you will compare "Deelnemer" with the value of RecordName. If this doesn't help, I recommand to debug your javascript code using developers tools (press F12).

You can refer to this page https://mscrmwithramandeep.home.blog/how-to-debug-javascript-in-dynamics-365-ce/

KR,

Hicham

Hi MichelSteen,

I tested the code you provide and it works fine for me. The following is my test code:

function HideContractenTabOnLoad(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var tabObj = formContext.ui.tabs.get("Contracten"); if (formContext.getAttribute("parentaccountid").getValue()[0].name == "Steve") { tabObj.setVisible(false) } }

Result:

Please check the following point:

1. Please console.log(formContext.getAttribute("icarus_typecontact").getValue()[0.icarus_contacttype) to check whether it equals "Deelnemer".

2. Please make sure the form is correct.

3. When you change the lookup value, please refresh the form. If you want to hide the tab when change the lookup value, please add an onchange event.

Hi. Thanks for this anwser. I see where my error is now: i've been comparing to the value on the lookup record (icarus_contacttype ), instead of the "name" value on the contact record (which, i should have knows, is that value)

(nice touch with the image you did there ;)
