Option set field required - auto expands

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

In CRM 2016 on premise version 8.0.1.97 - upon clicking a custom button we have an option set field set to required. This causes the option set to expand to show the list of potential values. If no value is chosen upon save a notification error appears as expected. However the message cannot be read because the option set is expanded. Is there a way to close the option set or collapse it while required ? In 2011 it would just be highlighted with a first blank value

Hi,

If I am not wrong, the same message appears in the save icon bottom right corner. So even if it is not visible, users will not be able to save the record and will be presented with the same error message near the save icon.

Hi R T,

You can do following Workaround , setFocus wont be help in this case , seems setFocus internally calling while set the control notification and expanded optionset fields.

- Set Form Notification instead of control notification.

OR

- Set the Optionset default value if its mandatory then , instead of setting null.

OR

- Set optionset value using JS .

Hi,

After making Optionset field as mandatory, set the focus on next field so that option values will be collapsed

Xrm.Page.getControl(AttributeName).setFocus();
