How to set value of field on Load of Form without changing state of form(IsDirty)

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I have requirement to display a value on particular field whenever associated entity(Not directly related to use mapping) field changes on load of form without making form isDirty as "unsaved changes" will be displayed on bottom of form.

How to achieve this as value on field needs to be displayed on form whenever associated entity field changes on load of existing record.

Field should behave like container to display value on field whenever associated entity field gets changed and it should be displayed on Load and field shouldn't be saved.

    Make field dirty false. I mean set submit mode never for this field.

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_fieldname").setSubmitMode("never");

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    I actually tried following code on changed field

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute(field_name).setSubmitMode("never")

    It worked as form is unaware of field change state due to above code

    If you are setting a value from a Javascript, then form comes with a Unsaved changes.

    If you would like to use a field as a container and do not want to save those value in a form, then try using following command.

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_fieldname").setSubmitMode("never");

    Hi Praveen,

    I think that the easiest way to be create an Html Web Resource that is displayed on the form and shows the value. Once you make a change to the value on the form, the form will become "dirty", and if AutoSave is on, the changes will be saved.

    Hope this helps.
