Hi,

I want to change account form header value only in display. In header title account primary attribute value is display that is name. But I want to display other custom attribute value.

We are using CRM 2016, I know there is a method available for access header fields Xrm.Page.setControl("header_name"). But this update name attribute in record that I don't want. I want to update only in display.

please help me.

Thanks,

Vaib

You can use the setSubmitMode function, with "never" as the parameter, to avoid saving back the changed value.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for quick reply. Actually after update header_name field value this reflect on account name field in the header not on form Header Title. I want to change form Header Title . In the form title it will reflect after save.

Can you suggest any other approach for update title.

Thanks,

Hi Tushar,

In CRM 2016, all the support of JS code like getelementbyID or getelementbyTagName has removed. So we can not use this.

Previously on crm 2013 , we used this code but this will not work on CRM 2016 with new form rendering method.

For this work, I need to use legacy form setting that I cannot do. Because new rendering method are very good for form load performance.

Thanks,

That link still uses getElementById, which as they've pointed out above, is no longer supported.

In 2016, you can access any element on the form using the window.parent.document.all collection. In the following example, I have registered "FormOnLoadHandler" function on the form onload event;

function FormOnloadHandler(context) { // Timer is needed as not all elements may have been added to the document.all collection // may need to adjust the timer duration setTimeout(function () { console.log("Form loaded. Changing title...."); var allelem = window.parent.document.all; console.log("All elements length " + allelem.length); for (var i = 0; i < allelem.length; i++) { var id = allelem[i].id || allelem[i].getAttribute('id'); if (id == 'FormTitle') { // H1 element where title is displayed allelem[i].childNodes[0].innerText = "My New Title is Displaying"; break; } } }, 1000); }

If this answers your question, please mark as answered.

Hi MehrCrm,

Thanks for reply. I tried your suggested code , but it does not worked. It does not generate any error but also does not set header title.

Thanks,

Hi vaib01,

I did test the code (IE, Chrome, and FF) in 2016 with turbo forms turned on. A couple of questions.

In browser console (F12), Do you see the messages "Form loaded. Changing title...." and "All elements length " being displayed?

Did you increase the timer duration from 1000 (1 sec) to say 2000 (2 sec) to see if it works?

If you place "console.log(id);" after the "var id = allelem[i].id || allelem[i].getAttribute('id');" line, do you see the ids of DOM elements being printed to the browser console?

Thanks
