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,

RE: Show/Hide Tabs based on a lookup value

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

RE: Show/Hide Tabs based on a lookup value

Hi,

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

function showHideTabs(executionContext) { alert(1);
formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
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);

}

}

RE: Show/Hide Tabs based on a lookup value

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);

}

RE: Show/Hide Tabs based on a lookup value

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

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.
