Posted on by MituCRMing 270 
Hello, I am trying to develop a custom JS. The code runs onChange a field that will show or hide a ribbon button based on the option it's selected.
I am getting error on option1. Thanks. 


function refreshRibbonOnChange() {
    Xrm.Page.ui.refreshRibbon();

}
function enableCustomRule() {
    if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_category") != null) {
        var category = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_category").getValue()[0].id;
        var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
        var url = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/CategorySet(guid'" + category + "')?$select=option1";
        req.open("GET", encodeURI(url), false);
        req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
        req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
        req.send();
        var data = JSON.parse(req.responseText).d;
        if (data.option1 == null || data.option1 == false) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

    RE: Dynamic CRM Hide/Show ribbon button by OnChange of a lookup field

    I have it working for all of the lookup records. I am calling the refershRibbon onChange so that show the buttons for all of the lookup records

    But I need to filter it for the one's I need. I know I need to use fetchXml but not so clear on how I need to build the fetch.

    function showRibbonButton() {

        var categoryType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_categorytype").getValue()[0].id;
    if (categoryType != null) {
        return true;

    } else 
        return false;
}

function refreshRibbon(){
    Xrm.Page.ui.refreshRibbon();
}


    I built the following fetch....

    function addLookupFilter() {
var category = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_categorytype").getValue();
if (category != null) {
fetchXml = "<filter type='and'><condition attribute='new_categorytype' operator='eq' value='" + category + "' /></filter>"; 
Xrm.Page.getControl("new_categorytype").addCustomFilter(fetchXml);
}
}

    Do you mean option1 is a field in Category entity?

    Thank you Alex! option1 is a record which is a category type. I have field called Category Type which is the lookup field.

    Hi,

     you might want to try the REST builder then:

    github.com/.../CRMRESTBuilder

     After the "$select" (in the url), you should list all the attributes. I don't think option1 is the name of the attribute.. 

     Here is an example:

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg309461(v=crm.7).aspx#BKMK_select

     That same attribute name should be used later in place of data.option1

     Is there an attribute of the the new_category entity that you need to retrieve? You should be using that field name in place of option1.

    Ethan, no it's not in BPF it's in a form. The form has a field which is a lookup. The lookup field has a list so based on the value selected from the lookup field, I want to show/hide a ribbon button.

    Hi Alex, the schema name is new_category. option1, option2...e.t.c are the values of new_category

    Bit more info needed perhaps? 

    If I understand this right, you're wanting a field on the business process flow for your entity, to be shown or hidden, based on another field which I'm assuming is an option set? 

    If that's all correct, can you please give the option set values? I'm also struggling to understand why you're using JSON here.

    Hi,

     what is the schema name of that field? There should be some prefix.. something like new_option1 (in both the url you are using and in the code that follows)
