Verify if an entity form is valid using javascript

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

on my opportunity entity, I added a business rule that switches fields from required to not required following certain conditions. Now I would like to know if there's a javascript method from the SDK I could call to know if my current form is valid (if all my required fields have a value).

Thanks for your help

Hi Frantz,

What are you trying to do? I would expect the required fields are all validated when you try to hit the Save button. Is that not happening?

Thanks,

Aiden

No, I want to do more complex thing. I was only wondering and hoping a simple feature as validating a form in javascript exists... But from your answer, asking what I want to do, I understand there is no simple way in javascript (a simple method) to know if current entity form is valid...

You can add your own custom validation to the save event and cancel the save if it fails (Check out this link) . I don't think there's an easy way to see if all the required fields have a value though, because it won't hit your custom validation until all the required fields have a value.

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

Thanks,

Aiden

Hi Frantz,

you can check your mandatory fields are populated or not as following,

function IsFormValidForSaving(){
var valid = true;

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.forEach(function (attribute, index) {
   if (attribute.getRequiredLevel() == "required") {
      if(attribute.getValue() == null){
          if(valid){
              var control = attribute.controls.get(0);
              alert(control.getLabel() + " is missing a value");
              control.setFocus();
          }
          valid = false;

      }
   }
});

return valid;

}

Hi All ,

I used Necdet Saritas's code in CRM 2015 update 1 but its only validating business required attributes only.

In my scenario on account entity 5 fields are business required and for other 3 fields i am setting required level conditionally using javascript on CRM form load.

function IsFormValidForSaving() {
var valid = true;
Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.forEach(function (attribute, index) {
if (attribute.getRequiredLevel() == "required" ) {
if (attribute.getValue() == null) {
if (valid) {
var control = attribute.controls.get(0);
control.setFocus();
//console.log(control.getLabel() + " is missing a value");

}
valid = false;
}
}

});

return valid;

}

This code is not validation custom required attributes ( i am getting required level none for conditional custom required attributes).

Can any one help for this issue?

Regards,

Jaydip Patil
