Hi, I am trying to set the visibilty of a lookup control based on a condition of another attribute on a form. When this attribute has a value, I want the lookup control to be made visible. The issue I am having is, the Label for the lookup control is being displayed but the lookup control isn't. This is an example of what I'm trying to achieve.

var x = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("attribute").getValue();

if (x != null){

Xrm.Page.getControl("lookup").setVisible(true);

}

No, there is simply nothing except the field label.

The "Second Carrier" is the field in question. When the "O/L Origin" gets a value, the Second carrier should become visible. But only the label gets displayed. The "First Carrier" is visible by default.

The script is correct. Can you maybe try putting the label on the left of the controls (from section properties) to see if you get a different behaviour?

Yes, the script is correct, and the label position, I tried, it is OK in my environment.

Hm..You have another script?

What if you use different browser?

Thank you for all the suggestions.

I tried using Chrome instead of IE but had the same issue. I also tried not displaying the label at all but this didn't worked either. I also tried moving the field in question to another section, and that didn't seem to make any difference either. Finally, I decided to move all the controls from the 'ROUTING' section into the new one column section called 'Routing 2' with the labels displayed on the side and it all worked perfectly. See screenshot below.

The error/bug seems to be in the positioning of the label. For interests sake, I created another four column section with the labels displayed above the controls, and got the same issue. See screen shot below.

As you can see, the second and third carrier controls are not being displayed only the labels.

Did a quick search on connect. People who don't use left side labels, are having issues with general behaviour as well as visibility triggered by JS. Eg. connect.microsoft.com/.../812467

So, I think best to stick with left side labels, till these issues are resolved.

can you uncheck "display by default" checkbox for the field and set visible only when you need to show the field in the form based on the condition?
