Posted on by MituCRMing 270

I have 4 fields that are currency, I am using a business rule to calculate the total which is working. I am trying to set the values of the 4 fields onLoad to $1.00

Is this how I can acchive that? Thanks!

function onLoad() {
    Test("new_field1");
    Test2("new_field2");
    Test3("new_field3");
}

function new_field1OnChange() {
    Test("new_field1");
}

function new_field1OnChange() {
    Test2("new_field2");
}

function new_field1OnChange() {
    Test3("new_field3");
}

function Test(fieldName) {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute(arg).setValue("1.00);
}

    RE: Setting field Value using JavaScript

    Not really what I am trying to do is to trigger other fileds based on Filed3 value if Field3 is greater than 1, I would display field 4, and if field 4 is greater than 1, I will display field 5 and so on

    function budgetBreakdown(fieldName, forceReset) {

       var field = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName);

       var value = field.getValue();

       if (!value || forceReset === true)

           field.setValue(1.00);

       if (field == "new_field3" && value != 1.00) {

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field3Comment").setVisible(true);

           Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field3Comment").setRequiredLevel("required");

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field4").setVisible(true);

       }

       if (field == "new_field4" && value != 1.00) {

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field4Comment").setVisible(true);

           Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field4Comment").setRequiredLevel("required");

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field5").setVisible(true);

       }

    }

    what do you want to do by using && !==0 ??

    do you want to check if the value is 0?

    it will never because the line above you set the value to 1.00.

    and you would have to check like

    if(fieldName == "new_field3" && field.getValue()!==0)

    Hey guys, can I toggle between the different fields like this? Thanks

    if (fieldName == "new_field3"  && !==0)

          Xrm.Page.getControl("new_fied4").setVisible(true);

          Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field4").setVisible(false);

          Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field5").setVisible(false);

    RE: Setting field Value using JavaScript

    Hi Tobias,

    I changed if(!value || forceReset===true) to if(!value || forceReset===FALSE), that seems to fix.

    I need to make an update in the code, adding more field which will be displayed if a user put a value for field 3. OnLoad the fields are hidden. The part am struggling with is displaying the other fields based on the condition, which is if field3 has a value other than 1, field 4 will be displayed, if field 4 has a value other than 1, field 5 will be displayed...

    I modified the code as follow:

    function Test(fieldName, forceReset) {

    var field = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName);

    var value = field.getValue();

    if(!value || forceReset===true)

    field.setValue(1.00);

    if (fieldName == "new_field3"  && !==0)

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_fied4").setVisible(true);

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field4").setVisible(false);

           Xrm.Page.getControl("new_field5").setVisible(false);

    }

    RE: Setting field Value using JavaScript

    Thank you Tobias.  It's working but it overight the value onLoad. What I meant by that is, I entered values and the total calculated onSave.  When I refresh the page the fields are setback to 1. Since I saved the value I was expecting to see the fields value. The only value I see is the total

    ok please try this code.

    this should work.

    function onLoad() {
    
	setEvents();
	
	Test("new_field1",true);
    Test("new_field2",true);
    Test("new_field3",true);	
}

function setEvents()
{
	setEventToField("new_field1", new_field1OnChange);
	setEventToField("new_field2", new_field2OnChange);
	setEventToField("new_field3",new_field3OnChange);
}

function setEventToField(fieldName,callback){
	var field= Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName);
	if(!field){
		alert("Field ["+fieldName+"] is not on the form. Can't set onChange-handler");
		return;
	}
	
	field.addOnChange(callback);
}

function new_field1OnChange() {
    Test("new_field1");
}

function new_field2OnChange() {
    Test("new_field2");
}

function new_field3OnChange() {
    Test("new_field3");
}

function Test(fieldName, forceReset) {
	var field = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName);
	var value = field.getValue();
	
	if(!value || forceReset===true)
		field.setValue(1.00);
}

    RE: Setting field Value using JavaScript

    Yes, I want to reset the value to 1 onLoad and if the value is deleted (null). I tried the code it only works for the first field and I am getting ReferenceError: new_field2 is not defined at eval (eval at RunHandlerInternal ) for the remaining fields.

    do you always want to reset the value in onload (no matter what value it is?)

    this would only set the field to 1.00 if the field is empty.

    function Test(fieldName) {
	var field = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName);
	var value = field.getValue();
	
	if(!value)
		field.setValue(1.00);
}

    RE: Setting field Value using JavaScript

    Hey Tobias,

    This code is also changing the value of the field before it gets saved, if I change the value from 1 to 10 it will automatically change it back to 1. The only time I want the field to be 1 is onLoad and if the user delete the value.

    Thanks

    based on your first sample-code this would look like:

    function onLoad() {
    
    setEvents();
	
    Test("new_field1");
    Test("new_field2");
    Test("new_field3");	
}

function setEvents()
{
	Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field1").addOnChange(new_field1OnChange)
	Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field2").addOnChange(new_field2OnChange)
	Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field3").addOnChange(new_field3OnChange)
}

function new_field1OnChange() {
    Test("new_field1");
}

function new_field2OnChange() {
    Test("new_field2");
}

function new_field3OnChange() {
    Test("new_field3");
}

function Test(fieldName) {
	Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName).setValue(1.00);
}
