Check value of an opportunity field via javascript 2016

Overall, I am trying to progress the Business process flow to the next stage (or better, to the stage I want) when a certain field (a custom status field) is a specific value, e.g. "Pending"

I've been looking at the Client API help and know how to use at least:

Xrm.Page.data.process.moveNext();

I see people recommending to use the Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname"), but none of my fields are available under the getAttribute.

The specific status field I want to check is under the business process flow and also just on the page.

Question 1) How do I correctly use the getAttribute function and then use the .getValue() on it?

Question 2) It would be nicer to use the .setActiveStage() function over .moveNext(). How do I properly use the setActiveStage?

Thanks!

Are fields on form ? If I m correct in order to access fields they should be on in the form body.

For Q1 you can hock attribute and read value from it:

var tempAttributeName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("CRMAttributeName");

var attributeValue = tempAttributeName.getValue();

or can directly read value from it:

var attributeValue = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("CRMAttributeName").getValue();

For details please see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj602964.aspx#BKMK_AccessingAttributes

Regarding Q2 .moveNext() and .setActiveStage() have a little difference in functionalities. Using .setActiveStage() you can set a completed stage as active, moveNext() will cause business process flow to the next stage. Please see the following links for details and usage examples.

Hello there,

1) If your field is in BPF, then the name of the attribute should be prepended by "header_process_", then followed by attributename. Another thing is that you can only get a control and get an attribute from it. Like that:

Xrm.Page.getControl("header_process_attributename").getAttribute().getValue()

2) It wound not be nicer. You can switch to the next stage only by moveNext(). setActiveStage() allows you to activate any of previous valid stages
