How to hide button in ribbon workbench if form is dirty

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by HK 36

I have a requirement to hide a button in the ribbon if the form is dirty (i.e. in a state of unsaved). 

I know I can use a function calling the getIsDIrty() method, but I am unable to get this working. 

I have created a custom enable rule as below with the function below. 

I understand I may have the Invert Result wrong, but whichever way I try I do not see the button. (Note I also have a rule that on create this button is hidden).

Do I need to make use of RefreshRibbon somewhere to pick up the new rules?. If so where can I use this so it gets fired?

function checkUnsavedChanges(primaryControl)

{

return Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty();

}

    Hi Alex Br,

    Make Default = False

    The below code will resolve your problem.

    function checkUnsavedChanges(_primaryControl) {
    var isNotFormDirty = true;
    var formContext = _primaryControl;
    attributes = formContext.data.entity.attributes.get();
    if (attributes != null) {
        for (var i in attributes) {
            if (attributes[i].getIsDirty()) {
                // Display the name and value of the attribute that has changed
                isNotFormDirty = false;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return isNotFormDirty;
}

    Hey, thanks for getting back.

    I applied the changes as above and unfortunately when I change a field, I still see the button.

    Note I am not saving the data, the goal is to get the button to hide before saving, does that matter?

    Hi

    Please add formContext.ui.refreshRibbon(refreshAll) on onchange of the column.

    Hello,

    Add the following code to the onload event handler of the form:

    function onLoad(executionContext) {
	var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

	formContext.data.entity.attributes.forEach(function(a){
		a.addOnChange(function(){
			formContext.ui.refreshRibbon();
		});
	});
}
