Hi guys ,

I need to break a label in two line . For this I added a javascript function and calling a formLoad event.

some times it shows for a sec and vanishes. I m using ms crm 2016 on line.

**********************************************----------------------------------------------------------*************************************

function funsetLabel()
{
message = "first message" + '<br/>';
message = message + "second message";
var k = window.parent.document.getElementById("accen_field2_cl")
if(k == null)
{
alert("kk");
}
else
{
window.parent.document.getElementById("accen_field2_cl").innerText = message;

k.innerText =message;
k.isContentEditable = true;
alert("tttttttt"); // working

window.parent.document.getElementById("accen_field2_cl").style.background="red"; // this is working
}

Hi,

You should look at other ways to handle this because what you're doing isn't supported and could break with any update. For example, move the labels above the control so they have more space (a property of the Section), shorten the label, or hide the label and show it as a section name.

There is a supported method called "selLabel" that you should try instead of the inner text. You may have the same issues but it'll be supported and less likely to break. Here are details on that:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334266.aspx

Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

Thanks,

Aiden

Hi,

please have a look at Aiden's response - it's probably a better way to handle this..

But, if you do need something very custom, try using an iframe instead. For example, add a section with 2 columns - use the first column for an iframe and the second column for the actual field. Display your label in the iframe, and configure the field not to display any label at all. Whatever you do in the iframe will still be "supported" (more exactly, CRM won't really care about what you are doing there)

If you need less space for the iframe, make it a 3 column section, for example.. then display iframe in the first one, and use the other two to display the field..

Please set innerHTML in place of innerText because <br/> has no meaning in text.

window.parent.document.getElementById("accen_field2_cl").innerHTML = message;

Hope it would work for you.

Happy CRMing

sorry for late reply

I guess it is working because on loading of form first it display the newly assigned value

but suddenly it get change to its original value. Also break is not doing its work .

Any suggestion ?
