    Hi Sreekant,

    Can you share some.more examples of.what you trying to achieve?

    Also, when you say *, do you mean the actual character or any value in place of *?

    You can use regular expressions, but if you still need to use that email address for another purpose, this is a bad idea, because it would replace the actual value of the email.

    Why not use Security Profiles, and make the emailaddress1 field Secured?

    The other option, if you need to keep both the emailaddress1 field for later use, and display this field, is create another field (for example: securedEmail). Have the email address as Can Create.

    When the email address is created, add logic to replace the value and store it in the securedEmail field.

    This will make the emailaddress1 as a Secured Field, and the securedEmail field as unsecured, but not containing the actual email address.

    If this was not your intention, please clarify.

    I have a "Email" field and "Secured email" filed.

    Email --- sreekanthcan@outlook.com

    Secured Email -- s***********@outlook.com

    Later I will use Secured email field for verification purpose

    So, you can use Regular Expressions to get the value of the email address you are looking for and replacing it with what you want. See following post:

    www.bennadel.com/.../207-ask-ben-extracting-parts-of-an-email-address-in-javascript.htm

    Or you can just find the index of the @ in javascript, replace the part before with the *, and save it in the new field, or you can split it by using the split method. The code below should do it. Didn't try, but please go ahead...

    var splitEmail = emailAddress.split('@');

    var prefix = splitEmail[0];

    var output = prefix.substring(0,1) + padleft("*", prefix.length-1) + "@" + splitEmail[1];

    padleft = function(padString, length) {

    var str = this;

       while (str.length < length)

           str = padString + str;

       return str;

    }

    Hi Sreekanth,

    You could use the below javascript method (may be on change of email or on save) to format the secure field. Just tried and it seems to be working fine.

    ---------------------

    function setSecureEmail()

    {

       var email = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailaddress1").getValue();

       if (email != null)

       {

           var txt = email.split('@')[0];

           var result = "";

           for (var i = 0; i < txt.length; i++) {

               if (i === 0) {

                   result = result + txt.charAt(i);

               }

               else {

                   result = result + '*';

               }

           }

           result = result + "@" + email.split('@')[1];

       }

       Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_secureemail").setValue(result);

    }

    ---------------------

    Hope this helps.
