I've a custom button and a system button, and by using Ribbon workbench I want to show custom button when the form is inactive state and show system button when the form is in 'active' state. I am using following ValueRule step in Display Rule but it doesn't seem to work or I am missing something in between?

Hi Mohsin

Could you use this line 'Xrm.Page.ui.refreshRibbon();' on 'On-Load' event?

Thank You

Hi Mohsin Ali,

You can write a Form State Rule in Display Rules to achieve this functionality.

See this thread: https://community.dynamics.com/.../153867

Hope this helps.

I tried to use Form State in Display Rule and set the form state as 'Disabled' and 'Read only' for the button that I want to show on inactive records but it hide the button and not show on any form.

The form state rule is a little confusing. But I used it and I am done with my tasks. Thanks every one.

For understanding Form State Rule, Referred: msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334563.aspx

For Custom button which is to be displayed when record is deactivated, use this Value Rule:

For Standard Button which is to be displayed when record is Active, use this FormStateRule:
