Dynamically show/hide Tabs on form based on field value without JavaScript - Using standard features and functions in D365?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by TGT 135

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

    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);
	}
}

    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.
