How to hide button in ribbon workbench if form is dirty

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by HK 32

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();

}

    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();
		});
	});
}

    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 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;
}

    If I answer your question then please mark it as verified.

    Let me know if I can provide you with more details.

    Thanks
