JavaScript Web Resource that sets field to "Required" is not working -- Need help debugging

Posted on by Community Member

I have created a web resource that is supposed to set a field to "required" when the form is opened. I have added the web resource to the OnLoad section of the form. However, it is not setting the field to required. (I cannot simply use a business rule to do this because the Manufacturer field will then become required in QuoteWerks as well, which is where many of our Opportunity records are created.)

Below is my code:

function SetManufacturerToRequired() {

Any ideas why its not working and how I can fix it?

Thanks!

Hi,

var value = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_opportunityscope");

I think you have to do Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_opportunityscope").getValue() to actually get the value. With only getAttribute() you will only retrieve the object so the clause if (value == "Product") will always be false, probably that's why your required level is always as "none".

Best regards

Hi There,

Have you tried to set required level directly from the console ?

Simply try to debug on console form (Press F12 on CRM form) to set required level.

It supposed to work

First of all, Xrm.Page was deprecated. You have to use formContext in order to work with attributes correctly.

In addition, getAttribute() returns attribute object for you, not a value. You should add getAttribute('field').getValue() in order to get field value.

Hi,

Please try following code:

function SetManufacturerToRequired(){

var value = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_opportunityscope").getValue();

if(value != null && value="Product"){

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").SetRequiredLevel("required");

}else{

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").SetRequiredLevel("none");

}

}
