Changing field values on the fly

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mick_4711 550

Hi together,

Unfortunately I'm not yet so familiar with JavaScript and XRM. So I got one question.

I got two costum fields in Opportunity - "Project Size In Qm" and "Project Size In SQFT".

So now my aim is, that if one user is leaving a field after typing in a value, the other field should get the conversion value directly and automatically.

At the moment the values change, but after one value was set, saved and the page was reloaded.

Can somebody maybe help me with this? 

This would be awesome

Best regards 

Mick

P.S.: maybe I will change the conditions again.

function changeValueQmSqft() {

      
    var valueFieldSqft = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("projektgre_in_qm").getValue();
    var valueFieldQm = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("projektgre_in_m2").getValue();

    try {
        if (valueFieldQm > valueFieldSqft) {
           
            valueFieldQm = valueFieldQm * 10.76390578220045;
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("projektgre_in_qm").setValue(valueFieldQm);
        }
        else {
            
            valueFieldSqft = valueFieldSqft * 0.092903;
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("projektgre_in_m2").setValue(valueFieldSqft);
        }

        } catch (e) {

        }
    
}

    Hi Mick,

    You can use CRM  Calculated fields for conversion purposes.

    Saves the effort of writing and registering custom code.

    Regards

    Instead of OnSave- Change it to Onchange of field as I said earlier, Double click field->Field Properties->Event->Add your method there, you can add your method in both fields onchange. Save and Publish.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, okay!

    I changed it to "OnSave".

    So the values change, when I save the page.  

    Sorry for another question as I am a Xrm-newbie. But how do I use the onChange-trigger?

    In the Form Properties/Event Handler? Onload.

    Thanks Ganesh,

    exactly. But I wasn't sure, how to use it. That's why I had to ask.

    I will definitely change the conditions. I just wanted to get it work quick and improve later.

    Thanks Himbap,

    yes, I tried that as a business rule. But it wasn't possible to multiply with a float as I have to; just with a decimal number.

    Hi,

    I believe you are trying to invoke the method from both field onChange event not on for onLoad, right? If you trigger method from onLoad/ OnSave event it will work only when record/ or form opened/ loaded/ Saved. Try triggering the method onChange of the field.

    Also you may add some null/ blank/ undefined check condition in your script to avoid any scripting error on arithmetic operation.

    Thank you!

    Ganesh.
