Hello Professionals,

I am worried why my JavaScript function which is bind to Custom Rule in Ribbon button gets called twice when page loads. This degrades page performance. Anybody knows and can help if there is anything to do or I am doing something wrong ?

Regards,

RE: Ribbon Button Enable Rule - Custom Rule Step

If you are talking about Enable Rule calling JavaScript function, unfortunately that is the way CRM currently calls enable rules on Custom JavaScript. I am not sure if this is a bug or by design (pre/post rule events), but there is nothing really that you can do regarding that.

Francesco's response gives you a workaround if you have a long running script in your enable rule.

Hope this helps.

Hi Zeshan ,

it is certainly an issue caused by some wrong callback o recursive event.

If you want to solve it fast, you could add a flag and trigger the function only once, like:

var triggered = false; function RibbonButtonClick() { CallMyFunction(); } function CallMyFunction() { if (triggered == false) { // never trigger it again! triggered = true; // ... your function body follows alert("Triggered!"); } }

Hope it helps!

RE: Ribbon Button Enable Rule - Custom Rule Step

Is the JavaScript still being called onLoad in the Form settings? Theres no way that JavaScript should be getting called unless the Ribbon button is pressed.
