Hi Experts,

I have a Two Options CRM field with Yes/No values, field name is showing on the form but field control (its dropdown) is not showing, I am using CRM 2015 online. 

Issue is when I try to access the field with Xrm.Page.getAttribute I can access the object but when I try to access it with Xrm.Page.getControl, it returns an error "Unable to get property 'setVisible' of undefined or null reference (im trying to hide the control). 

I already have tried removing it from the form, save, publish then put it back to the form but the issue still exists. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Field name is showing but not the dropdown control.

    Hi,

    To hide the field you should use:

    Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("attributename").setVisible(false);

    Hi Bharat,

    Thank you for your reply, Xrm.Page.getControl method is a shortcut method to access Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get.

    Hi Guido,

    Yes the field is inside the main form. No field level security set nor read only associated to it.

    The field is a "Two radio button", after changing it to "Checkbox" we can now access it's control but if we change it back again to "Two radio button" same thing happen as before. Why is it that when we change it to Two radio button the radio buttons doesn't display on the form?

    Thanks for replying, i'll do some more research regarding this.

    Please check the value in HTML view source I m sure this might not have rendered when it is two radio button (Is value set for the field?). In case of check box value is by default set to No when it is not chcked.
