Posted on by Abhishek K

Hi,

I have a subgrid in the form used in the model driven app, it it has button +Add existing item. I want to hide that button. I have a limitation that my organisation won't allow to use XRM Tool box. I have also tried to hide my command bar but the hide option was disabled. Is there any other way to do it.

Your response is greatly appreciated, Thanks

Which product you use helps us provide the solution

Using setVisible(false) on the subgrid control hides the entire thing, not just the "Add Existing" button. That is obviously not a useful fix if you still need the grid to be visible for your users.

Instead, you should target the command bar button itself rather than the control. Since XrmToolbox isn't available and the native option is greyed out, use the Command Designer in Power Apps. You can apply a display rule to the "Add Existing" button that simply returns false (or use one that is condition-based).

If you are forced to use classic customizations, you can still use a small JavaScript ribbon rule that returns false. Just make sure it is applied as a button visibility rule, not by calling setVisible.

Basically, do not hide the whole grid. Just use command bar rules to hide the button instead.

Since your organization does not allow XrmToolBox and the modern command hide option is disabled, the best supported alternatives are:

Modify the relationship behavior used by the subgrid

Restrict Append/Append To permissions through security roles

Use modern Command Designer if available for that specific subgrid (probably, It doesn't allow the OOB Button to modify).

Avoid unsupported JavaScript/CSS hiding unless absolutely necessary

In most environments, adjusting relationship/security behavior is the safest and most supportable solution for hiding the “+ Add Existing” button.
