Is it possible to show and hide Tabs on a form based on field value without the use of JavaScript?

Lets say we hava form with 3 tabs: General, Info, Other. (Each tab has many fields and sections)

On General tab we have a field for "Show Info Tab" with Yes/No options.

If Yes the tab "Info" is visible

If No the tab "Info" is hidden completely. Not just fields and sections but also the tab name on top of the form.

I know this is possible using JavaScript, but now late in 2020 - is there any new method one could use with standard features or functions in Dynamics 365

Hi,

I don't think we have standard feature supporting hiding tabs based on field value. I thought about Business Rules, Workflows, etc, but neither of them has this functionality. Please check the official doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/customize/visibility-options-legacy. By the way, it's very easy to use JS to achieve your requirement, please reconsider the operation. Thanks.

Yeah, that's what i already figured out. Was worth a shot anyway.

Solved using a small JavaScript something like this:

function showHideTabs(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var xxxfieldNamexxx = formContext.data.entity.attributes .getByName("FIELDNAME") .getValue(); if (xxxfieldNamexxx) //true { formContext.ui.tabs.get("TAB NAME").setVisible(true); } else(!xxxfieldNamexxx); //false { formContext.ui.tabs.get("TAB NAME").setVisible(false); } }
