Posted on by yify 1,023

Hi,

We have a requirement to restrict the field only to 10 characters and if the field is lees than 10 we need to show an erro on the screen.

I think showing error is not possible through business rule. Any guidance is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    for Restriction to 10 characters, you can do it via field setting, the option is called maximum length,

    For less than 10 characters ,you can write a JS to achieve this.

    function CheckFieldLenght()

    {

    var value= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("accountnumber").getValue();
    if(value != null)
    {
    if(value.length < 10)
    {
    Xrm.Page.getControl("accountnumber").setNotification("your message");
    }
    else

    {

    Xrm.Page.getControl("accountnumber").clearNotification();

    }
    }

    else

    {

    Xrm.Page.getControl("accountnumber").setNotification("your message");

    }
    }

    Hi Alex,

    I have used the code you have suggested and triggering on on save of the record. When the user enters less than 10 characters for the first time, its throwing error as per the requirement and when user edit it 10 characters, the error message is not going off. Please let me know if I doing anything wrong

    Thanks!

    Hi James,

    I've tried it, in my case, if the length is 10, the error will remove.
