    This is the code i used to hide "Finish" button of Business Process Flow, please substitute the id with the id of the button you want to hide:

    var hide = true;
var interval = null;
function OnLoad(){ 
    interval = setInterval(function () {
        var element = parent.document.getElementById("stageFinishActionContainer");
        if (element != null && hide == true) {
            hide = false;
            element.style.display = "none";
            clearInterval(interval);
        }
    }, 1000);
}

    Hi Francesco,

    I'm trying to do exactly the same thing (hide the finish button) on a BPF! I'm quite new to using code in Dynamics so excuse my ignorance, but what do you do with this code/where do you put it?

    Thanks in advance!

    Francesco, do you have an update for this solution that works with the new Unified Interface? Thanks

    What's the requirement behind hiding the Finish button, if I may know.

    Its a business requirement, where only the highest ranking BD leader can click finish after reviewing

    Hi, I also had this requirement, this blog post helped me a lot, it uses the Xrm library, so it should be future compatible.

    Here is the code I used:

    function hidePreviousStageButton(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var process = formContext.data.process;        
    //handles changes to the BPF before they actually occur
    process.addOnPreStageChange(myProcessStateOnPreChange);
}
function myProcessStateOnPreChange(executionContext) {
    var formContext= executionContext.getFormContext();
    var process = formContext.data.process;
    var eventArgs = executionContext.getEventArgs();
    var currentStageId = process.getActiveStage().getId();
    var nextStageId = process.getSelectedStage().getId();
    //dont allow to go back using the set active button
    if (currentStageId != nextStageId) {
        eventArgs.preventDefault();
        Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("You cannot use the Set Active button.")
        return;
    }        
          
    if (eventArgs._direction === 1) //backwards
    {            
        //here you can add logic based upon the BPF going to the previous Stage.
        return;
    }
    //otherwise forward
    // here you can add logic based upon the BPF going to the next Stage.   
}
    Hope it helps!
