Hey I have two fields

1) Job title : Option set that include an option"others"

2) Other Job title : Single Text

when the user choose others, the "other job title" should be set as mandatory otherwise if he chooses one of the options it should be read only.

I used the following code but it's giving me an error.. Any suggestion?

//if the user chooses from the option other job title
//enable other job title field
//make other job title mandatory
//else if the user chooses one of the options make other job title read only

function EnableOtherJobTitle()

var jobtitle= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_jobtitle").getSelectedOption().value;

alert(jobtitle);

if (jobtitle ==100,000,004)
{
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_otherjob").setRequiredLevel("required");
}
else
{
Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_otherjob").setDisabled(true);
}
}

Hi,

Please remove the commas in optionset value.

function EnableOtherJobTitle() var jobtitle= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_jobtitle").getSelectedOption().value; alert(jobtitle); if (jobtitle ==100000004) { Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_otherjob").setRequiredLevel("required"); } else { Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_otherjob").setDisabled(true); } }

Hope this helps.

alert(jobtitle);

if (jobtitle ==100000004)

{

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_otherjob").setRequiredLevel("required");

}

else

{

Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_otherjob").setDisabled(true);

}

}

Hope this helps, if helps plz mark the answer verified.

Hi,

I would not use Jscript but rather use a business rule for your form instead of Jscript.

more info:

www.microsoft.com/.../create-business-rules-and-recommendations-to-apply-logic-in-a-form.aspx

Set scope to your form.

Add option set option others.

Make field mandatory.

otherwise make field invisible/readonly.
