Changing Tab Focus when Business Required error occurs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by alan.abery 25

Hi All

Hopefully a simple question for you.

If a business required error occurs on a different tab in UCI, how can I force the tab focus to change in JScript?

The scenario we have is that we allow a Lead to be saved with only the minimum amount of data required however if they want to qualify the lead there are about 7 data fields that need to be entered.  We display an Alert Dialog regarding the error but the field may be on a different tab, so when Ok is clicked I would like to change the Tab focus to the tab with the control on it.

Cheers

Alan

    Hi Alan,

    Please see my link that I posted on tabs.  You have to click on the tab.  It's design that way.

    Hi Alan,

    The tab setFocus method should help: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/formcontext-ui-tabs/setfocus
