Visible fields moving when field next to it is hidden

Posted on by Jeroen J 12

Hi dear reader,
I've been reading about this particular challenge and so far no solution that serves the requirements of our client. 
In a form I have 4 fields next to eachother:

1 2 3 4

Fields 2 and 4 can be hidden, depending of the value of 1 and 3. But if I hide 2, this is what's displayed:

1 3 4

Surely there must be some kind of javascriptish command to keep the fields where they should be, like:

1    3 4

Since I've got about 15 of these rows, creating a new section and hide it when appropriate, isn't a solution. Also my client really doesn't want to see the fields to be hidden, so displaying them and locking them won't work either.

Am I fighting windmills here?

Best regards,
Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen,

    Unfortunately, this is the UI behaviour of CRM and I am yet to find any setting / supported way to make the fields from sliding to the left.

     I assumed the reason MS did was that because a form with so many blank spaces in between the rows looks less pleasant.

    One possible workaround for you would be to stack your attributes in a column manner,
    and change the tab properties to show 3 columns (since that is the maximum).

    But, such granular UI control is not in our power at the moment.

    Hope this helped.

    Cheers!

    Hey Shidin,

    thanks for your quick and complete response. The image you put in, isn't visible from my point of view, so I'm not sure if that possibility would suit our needs.

    Still, rather unbelievable that MS doesn't let us decide where to put which field. Can't really believe there are so little users complaining about it.

    Well, I'll just search on and eventually tell my client about the (in)possibilities.

    Thanks again!
