Hi,

We have a business requirement where we need to lock all the fields and controla on the form when Campaign status reason is Executing, Execution queued or complete.

We don't want to deactivate the record so we have written below method to lock all the controls on the form from javascript on form load.

I am seeing weird behaviour where some of the fields are still not locked when Campaign status reason criteria is met.

I have already verified no business rules are present on the campaign form.

No other javascript code found which will enables those fields.

I tried adding this code/method using data.addOnLoad in form on load event but no help.

I tried adding delay with the help of setTimeout but that also did not fix the issue.

Reaching out to the community members to help me figure out this issue and provide guidance.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening :) depending on your location!

If you are using Dynamics 365 Marketing, the issue with some fields not locking when the Campaign status reason is set to "Executing," "Execution queued," or "Complete" could be due to how the JavaScript code interacts with the form controls.

1. Ensure All Controls Are Targeted

The provided code loops through all controls on the form, but some controls might not be directly editable (e.g., subgrids, composite fields, or custom controls). Update the code to handle these cases:
function disableAllFormFields(context) {
    var formContext = context.getFormContext();
    formContext.ui.controls.forEach(function (control) {
        if (control && control.getDisabled && !control.getDisabled()) {
            control.setDisabled(true);
        }
    });
}

Ensure that all controls, including subgrids and composite fields, are explicitly targeted if needed.

2. Check Field Dependencies

Some fields might have dependencies or conditions set by business rules or field-level customizations. Even if no business rules are visible, check for:

Field-level security: Ensure the fields are not restricted by security roles.

OnChange Events: Verify if any field has an OnChange event that might re-enable it.

3. Use Form Load Timing

If fields are being re-enabled after the form loads, ensure the script is executed at the right time. Use the formContext.data.addOnLoad method to ensure the script runs after the form is fully loaded:
function onFormLoad(context) {
    var formContext = context.getFormContext();
    formContext.data.addOnLoad(function () {
        disableAllFormFields(context);
    });
}

4. Debug the Script

Use the browser's developer tools to debug the script. Add console.log statements to check which controls are being processed and identify any that are skipped:
console.log(control.getName());

5. Consider Power Automate

If JavaScript alone doesn't resolve the issue, consider using Power Automate to enforce field locking by updating the record's status or applying a custom workflow.

6. Alternative Approach: Business Rules

If JavaScript proves unreliable, use Business Rules to lock fields based on the Campaign status reason. Business Rules are executed server-side and can ensure consistent behavior.

Hope this helps!
