Posted on by PS10

Hi,

I have a requirement to show/hide tabs based on different lookup values, I have implemented the below code since XRM.... is now deprecated, i am getting no errors, alert will take me to true condition however, the tab is not hiding, I am not a developer(code copied from internet) and we are on-premise d365crm

The tabs are laid as shown below:

I have added script on Form(On Load) and on the lookup field (OnChange):

function showHideTabs(executionContext) { alert(1);
formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var tabObj = formContext.ui.tabs.get("Tab B");

if(formContext.getAttribute("new_profiletype").getValue()[0].name=="Individual")

{ alert(2);

tabObj.setVisible(false);

}

else

{ alert(3);

tabObj.setVisible(true);

}

Thanks,

Hi,

var tabObj = formContext.ui.tabs.get("Tab B");

You need to give tab name not display name as highlighted in below screen. There should not be any space between tab name.

Hi Bipin,

that is just the typing mistake, I didn't pay attention while giving the example.

In the actual code as you said, i have given the Tab name and not the display name and no space.

So query still remains to why it wont work, i have also tried old XRM code that too doesn't give error but for some reason won't hide the tabs:

function hideTab() {

if(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ofs_profiletype")!=null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ofs_profiletype").getValue()!=null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ofs_profiletype").getValue()[0].name=="Individual")

{

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_B").setVisible(false); //hide

}

else

{

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_B").setVisible(true); //show

}

}

Thanks,

PS

Hello PS10

1. First get the Tab Name (Navigate to https://make.powerapps.com then Click Tables --> Click Forms --> Open Main Form --> Click On Tab you will get Name of the Tab)

2. Write Below JS for Showing or Hiding the Values

function showOrHideTabBasedOnLookupValue(executionContext){

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var tabObj = formContext.ui.tabs.get("Tab Name");

if(formContext.getAttribute("new_profiletype").getValue()!=null && formContext.getAttribute("new_profiletype").getValue()[0].name=="Individual"){

tabObj.setVisible(false);

}

else{

tabObj.setVisible(true);

}

I have tried below code on my instance and it is working as expected.

var tabObj = formContext.ui.tabs.get("tab_2");

if(formContext.getAttribute("msft_emergencycontact").getValue()[0].name=="Anand Mahindra")

{ alert(2);

tabObj.setVisible(false);

}

else

{ alert(3);

tabObj.setVisible(true);

}

}

Hi Bipin,

Thats right the code was working in the first instance i realised the issue was not with the code, infact later i found out that we have so many other scripts so i decided to move my script on top of others and code worked.

Thanks for all your efforts.

I am now struggling to reload the page automatically as tabs will hide however i have to manually refresh the page to be able to see the changes, i am using the below but not working, it only saves the data but doesnt refresh:

formContext.data.refresh(true);

Thanks,

PS
