Hi partner,

Kindly let me know if you are trying this from the click of a ribbon button or through a js on the form.

If you are calling this function from a click of a button, then please follow the articles:

If you are doing it through the form as a onChange Event, make sure you have passed the execution context to the function as shown below:

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

have you register CanUserUpdateField function in the form onload\onsave event and check the pass execution context option?

Hi,

On your form, when you attached this function, did you check "Pass Execution Context" checkbox?
