Hello,

We basically took the DependentOptionSet.js file from the Microsoft SDK and modified it to work on fields in the business process flow and not just on fields on a form. However, we are upgrading to D365 and this code dosent work on the field in the business process flow anymore. Has anybody else ran into this?

Below is the code snippit:

function subTypeInit(executionContext)
{
	var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get formContext
    var stageName = formContext.data.process.getActiveStage().getName();
    if (stageName == "somestage")
    {
        var parentField = "new_someparentfield";
        var childField = "new_somechildfield";
        formContext.getControl("header_process_new_someparentfield").getAttribute().addOnChange(setDepenetOptionSet(executionContext, parentField, childField));
    }
    else
    {
        return;
    }

}

function setDepenetOptionSet(executionContext, parentField, childField)
{
	var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get formContext
    for (var depOptionSet in SDK.DependentOptionSet.config)
    {
        var DependentOptionSet = SDK.DependentOptionSet.config[depOptionSet];
        /* Match the parameters to the correct dependent optionset mapping*/
        if ((DependentOptionSet.parent == parentField) && (DependentOptionSet.dependent == childField))
        {
            /* Get references to the related fields*/
            var ParentField = formContext.getControl("header_process_" + parentField).getAttribute(); 
            var ChildField = formContext.getControl("header_process_" + childField).getAttribute(); 
            /* Capture the current value of the child field*/
            var CurrentChildFieldValue = ChildField.getValue();
            /* If the parent field is null the Child field can be set to null */
            if (ParentField.getValue() == null)
            {
                ChildField.setValue(null);
                ChildField.setSubmitMode("always");
                ChildField.fireOnChange();

                // Any attribute may have any number of controls
                // So disable each instance
                var controls = ChildField.controls.get()

                {
                    controls[ctrl].setDisabled(true);
                }
                return;
            }

            for (var os in DependentOptionSet.options)
            {
                var Options = DependentOptionSet.options[os];
                var optionsToShow = Options.showOptions;
                /* Find the Options that corresponds to the value of the parent field. */
                if (ParentField.getValue() == Options.value)
                {
                    var controls = ChildField.controls.get();
                    /*Enable the field and set the options*/
