CRM and JavaScript error when trying to see if date field contains data

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by USA80 26

I have the following script, but when I select a date in the SlideDeckDueDate Field I get and error that says, "Object doesn't support property or method 'getText' at SlideDeckDueDateOnChange."  I just want to check to see if this field contains data, and if so, then make other fields required. What am I doing wrong?

function SlideDeckDueDateOnChange()
 {
 var SlideDeckDueDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_slidedeckduedate").getText();
 
  if (SlideDeckDueDate == null || SlideDeckDueDate =='undefined' || SlideDeckDueDate =='')
   {
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_currenttimeframe").setRequiredLevel("none");
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_previoustimeframe").setRequiredLevel("none");
   }
  else if (SlideDeckDueDate != null && SlideDeckDueDate != 'undefined' && SlideDeckDueDate !='')
   {
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_currenttimeframe").setRequiredLevel("required");
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_previoustimeframe").setRequiredLevel("required");
   }
 }

    Hi There,

    I think it is due the fact that "getText()" only supports and used for optionset and multioptionset fields. hence you get that error.

    if you just need to check if date time field has data , you can do something like below using getValue().

    var SlideDeckDueDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_slidedeckduedate").getValue();

    then check if (SlideDeckDueDate  != null)

    {

    }

    However i have strong feeling that whatever you doing on the script above can very well be accomplished using a simple business rule?

    That worked, thank you.  I could have done this in a business rule, but I have other logic in a script already and wanted to stay consistent instead of having some logic in a script and some in a business rule.  Thank you for your help.
