Set Focus to first input widget on the form.

Posted on by 365

When I load the selected widget is the Contacts tab. Pressing tab does not move the cursor to the first field. 

1. Should Dynamics 365 default focus to the first input widget on the form on form load?

2. What could cause this to happen.

Thanks

    After double clicking on a contact in the system view the below screen is loaded. The first item to be highlighted in the Tab Heading (Contact Details) Notice the blue border around it. This is on a slightly modified contacts screen, but nothing major or unsupported has been done to the screen.

    On other occasions the category type field (a new custom lookup filed and not shown in screenshot) is the first field to have focus. This is very weird.

    The tab order is set automatically by dynamics and should start on the first field. You can control focus using the setFocus method of controls - could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing please?
