Hi,

Just wondering if its possible to 'hide' Status Reason field values instead of deleting them?

I have been given the task of clearing up a lot of our Status Reason values as some we never use anymore. But some we're not sure of and would like to keep but not display as an option.

Also, have just been testing this in our development site. What criteria is used when you delete a Status Reson value, i.e what does the Status Reason change to in the Opportunity when you remove its value comepletely? From what I can see from testing, it seems to change the Status Reason to the top reason in the list of values. Is there any way this can be configured?

Thanks as always

Ted

RE: Hiding Status Reason Values

If you want to remove the status reason then you need to map the old status reason to the new status reason before you delete the status reason. If you don’t do it then when user will open up the record with the deleted status reason, it will try to look up the ‘Int’ value for the status reason and can’t find and then default status reason will be shown to the user.

You can hide certain status reasons from being shown using javascript. You may use the following code on form load event.

function RemoveOptions(formContext,controlName){

var ctlOptionSet = formContext.getControl(controlName);

var options = ctlOptionSet.getOptions();

for (var i in options) {

if (options[i].text.indexOf('zzz') == 0) // remove all options starting with zzz

ctlOptionSet.removeOption(options[i].value);

}

}

RE: Hiding Status Reason Values

Hello Partner,

You can perform this action through Javascript code. The functions you will require are:

Add Option: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/controls/addoption

Remove Option: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/controls/removeoption

clear options: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/controls/clearoptions

In your form that user is working with, you can retrieve the control of the particular option set field and you can use the above functions to show and remove options that we can see. This does not delete the values from the option set, it just dynamically displays values of your choice and criteria. You can try implementing these in your forms through the use of Javascripts.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Raj
