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);
}
}

    Use below code:

    //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").getValue();
	if (jobtitle ==100000004)
	{
		Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_otherjob").setRequiredLevel("required");
	}
	else 
	{
		Xrm.Page.getControl("new_otherjob").setDisabled(true);
	}
}

    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.

    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,

    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.
