Making only BPF field required using JS

Posted on by Community Member

We have a field that is on the form and on the BPF. I would like to make the field conditionally required in the BPF to move from Stage X to Stage Y.

However, when I use JS to make it required referencing the "header_process" field, the normal field on the form becomes required as well. Meaning that in order to save the record, you have to fill in a value, which I don't want. It should only be necessary to fill it in to go to the next stage.

Is this just a limitation of CRM?

Hi,

You can set your field as required in the BPF itself like the below screenshot.

by marking it as required in the Business Process itself.

Please mark it as verified it found useful and let me know for any further queries.

@AXTechie2120, I have made some words bold in my original post to make it more clear. I need it to be conditionally required. This means your option won't work as it will always be required.

Hi,

after making the field as required try the below code for not moving to next bpf if the required field is empty.

function passonstage() {

stage = Xrm.Page.data.process.getSelectedStage();

if (requiredfield == null) {

var curProcessID = Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveProcess().getId();

Xrm.Page.data.process.setActiveProcess("curProcessID", callBackFunction)

//remain in the same stage

} else if (requiredfield != null) {

//move on to the next stage

}

}

function callBackFunction(result) {

if (result == "success") {} else {}

}

Please try the above and let me know.

mark it as verified if found useful.

Conditionally required means on what basis you want your field in the BPF to be conditionally required?

Can you explain a bit?

Say the field that needs to be conditionally required in the BPF is Field A. The field is also on the form itself.

We have another field on the form; Field B.

If Field B is filled in, Field A is required to go from Stage X to Stage Y, but not required to save the record itself.

If Field B is not filled in, Field A is not required.

The problem is, people can toggle fill in or clear B whenever they want, so the requirement of A should be able to change without doing a refresh.

try this ,

upto my understanding

if (fieldB != null) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("header_process_fieldA").setRequiredLevel("required");

} else if (fieldB == null) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldA").setRequiredLevel("none");

}

Please explain these

"If Field B is filled in, Field A is required to go from Stage X to Stage Y, but not required to save the record itself."

You mean you have fieldA in both stages X and Y?

and how you want the values to be filled up.

Field A is on the form and in the BPF in stage X.

I want to make Field A required to move from Stage X to Stage Y, without making Field A on the form required.

This is a conditional requirement based on Field B. Not sure if I can make it more clear than that.

Your code does not help.

If I do this:

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("header_process_fieldA").setRequiredLevel("required");

Field A on the form becomes required as well, which I do not want. Only Field A in the BPF should be required.

This was the entire problem.

Hi Miniso,

Try below Code,

// JavaScript source code

function onLoadfn(executionContext){

var formContext=executionContext.getFormContext();

formContext.data.process.addOnStageChange(RestrictStageChange);

}

function RestrictStageChange(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var country = formContext.getAttribute("ita_country").getValue();//field 1

var priority = formContext.getAttribute("ita_priority").getValue();//field2

if (country != null) {

if (priority == null && executionContext.getEventArgs().getDirection()=="Next") {

formContext.data.process.movePrevious(function () { alert("You Can't move to next stage as the field Priority is empty"); })

//above steps restricts user from moving to next stage if country is filled and priority is null.

}

}

}

Mark as verified if you think it answers your query.

Thanks and Regards,

Faheem
