setDisabled doesn't work in Wave2 2020

Posted on by Diana Birkelbach 140 Most Valuable Professional

Hi, 

Does anybody has the same problem in Wave2 2020, and knows when it will get fixed?

Using the Xrm SDK , when setDisabled(true) is called from another tab, it doesn't work.

After switching back to the tab containing the control, setDisabled with the same value (in my case "true") won't have any effect until I call it one with "false".

Another special effect: after I switch back to the tab containing my control, I can edit the control only ONCE. After I leave the control,  it gets finally disabled:

Kind regards,

Diana

    Hi Diana,

    just wanted to inform you that I am facing the exact same issue when I try to disable all controls when a condition is met after saving the record. It seems to work on the current tab, but not on other tabs. I also tried to call setDisabled on TabStateChange - with original context from OnLoad-Event and context from TabStateChange-Event - nothing seems to work. It only works when I reload the whole page or reopen the record.

    *EDIT*: Same effect comes up with business rules.

    Kind regards,

    Dima.

    our issue is actually setVisible   -   TypeError: Cannot read property 'setVisible' of null   -  and I'm using FormContext

    might need to do a 'null' test

    We are having issues as well - have find a work around or a ticket - or just let the disabled not work until it is fixed

    Hi Adrian Begovich,

    That doesn't work nether. I've posted the Xrm.Page way to access it, because it's simpler to test in the console, without having to write a script for it.

    Besides that, Xrm.Page is deprecated but not removed yet, so it should still work.

    But as I said, the "formContext" way to access it, doesn't work too.

    Kind regards,

    Diana

    Hi Diana Birkelbach,

    The Xrm.Page Client API is deprecated so use its replacement Client API instead.

    formContext.getControl(arg).setDisabled(bool);
