Different forms for an enitity based on initial field values selected

Posted on by jp12345678 1,135

Hi.

When creating a new Account record there are fields that are defined required like name and owner.

I would like to add a relationship type field and make it a required field. Based on the value that the user selects for the relationship type field a dedicated form will be opened for the user for further details of the record. Based on the relationship type there are different fields and information the user needs to collect from the record so this feature would be handy.

Is this possible to create somehow?

    Other option is creating unique Roles for each  form and assign that role to appropriate people. Once you done with above steps enable security role on the form that will take care of showing right for to user.

    You can find more information on this here

    Is there a way to accomplish this with point and click customization?

    I am not familiar with scripts.

    Yes you can load different forms based field value but it will work only for existing record not for new record as there won't be any value set on the new record until user saves.

    Here is the script that loads the different form based on field value.

    function changeForm() {

       var relType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue();

       if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() != 1 && relType) {

           var lblForm;

           switch (relType) {

               case 100000000:

                   lblForm = "Transaction"; //FormName

                   break;

              case 100000001:

                   lblForm = "Transaction1"; //FormName

                   break;

               default:

                   break;

           }            

           if (Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getLabel() != lblForm) {

               var items = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.items.get();

               for (var i in items) {

                   var item = items[i];

                   var itemId = item.getId();

                   var itemLabel = item.getLabel();

                   if (itemLabel == lblForm) {

                       item.navigate();

                   }

               }

           }

       }

    }
