Posted on by AZWildcat1290

We have a business requirement on the case form to change the tab focus when a specific field changes... The catch is this field is on a contact form that we are using the built in control to display on the case form. I have this code but I am unsure how we can get the code to read to the case form when the contact field is modified... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

function FocusOnTab(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

formContext.ui.tabs.get(/general/).setFocus();

}

Change tab focus based on field change

Hi,

Regarding your request to change the focus of a tab when a specific field is changed

Our team has analyzed your requirement and here is our understanding of the problem: There are two forms, FormA and Form B. FormB is displayed on FormA using built-in controls, and when a field in FormB is changed, the tab focus of FormA changes.

The following is the modified code of our team
function onChangeField() { var formA = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem(); // Get the currently selected FormA var tabB = formA.tabs.get("tabB_name"); // Replace with the actual Tab B name if (tabB) { tabB.setFocus(); } }

In addition, you need to use the code by following these steps

Step1, open Dynamics 365 and navigate to the design screen of FormB.
Step 2: Locate the specific field you want to modify and select it. In the field's property settings, look for the "Events" option.
Step 3: In "Events", find the "OnChange" event and add the above JavaScript event handler.
Step 4: Save and publish the changes to FormB.

Note, please make sure you replace "tabB_name" in the code with the actual Tab B name, which is the name of the tab you want to switch to.

I hope my answer is helpful to you! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,
Rudy Zhang
