Posted on by mykedeabreu

I am just getting started on Model Driven apps. I am creating an an app where users are requesting a new client be setup. I have a related table within a subgrid on the form where they can add contact information. Before the request can be submitted or moved to the next stage we require at least an email address and phone number. How can I validate this and possibly show a message to the user?

Hello

If I understood your scenario, you want to validate if the main record contains at least one contact information record associated and, if it doesn't, prevent the user to move to the next stage.

You can perform that validation by using a synchronous Workflow (extending with Custom Workflow Activity to check if the main record contains the related records) or a synchronous Plug-in (on PreValidation stage).

Hope this helps you.

Please mark the answer as verified if helpful.

Hi,

May I know if you tried using Business Process Flow to verify if an email address and phone number are entered?

Please refer to this post community.dynamics.com/.../is-it-possible-to-display-a-warning-message-on-bpf-when-a-field-value-is-not-entered.

You can validate record counts using skd or javascript (retrievemulitple request )and can validate based on the related records counts.

Hello Myke,

Do you need additional help? Any news?

If it's already clarified, and the answer was helpful, could you please mark it as verified? That will help others in future.

Thanks

Hi,

I think you can register your plugin on your Business process flow Entity and check if record exist in Related entity .

Every BPF will have corresponding custom entity created by the system.

Stage field can be used to identify the current stage.

Lookup to your main Entity field will be used to validate related entity record.
