Hi All,

What is the best approach to make a Subgrid required for at least one record and check this condition before a case record is resolved?

As per my understanding, I think I need to make a plugin for the same.

Please suggest.

Your understanding is correct , using OOB workflow you can not validate child records . Plugin is the best options to validate subgrid records in your scenario.

A way to count grid childs in js way is as bellow:

function getTotalGridRecordCount() {

try {

setTimeout(function () {

if (Xrm.Page != null && Xrm.Page != undefined && Xrm.Page.getControl("gridname") != null && Xrm.Page.getControl("gridname") != undefined) {

var count = Xrm.Page.getControl("gridname").getGrid().getTotalRecordCount();

alert("Total Childs:"+count);

}

}, 5000);

}

catch (e) {

Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(functionName + "Error: " + e.message || e.description);

}

}

But as the best approach i would suggest a Plugin.

Thank you,

Arjol

Hi,

I think a Plugin would not be necessary, a javascprit function that get teh count of your subgrid maybe enough, you can check if the count is > 0 and what ever you want.

I hope this works for you :)

Hi,

You can use either plugin or JS but if there is business process where cases are closed from back end or in bulk JS wont serve the purpose as its client side. so plugin will be a better option.

Nijo,

Please mark as verified if this was helpful.
