How to make checkbox automatically checked according to the selected value?

On my contact form, I have a contact type drop-down list and a Contact Type Information section which includes checkbox for every contact type . When a contact type is selected from the drop-down list, the checkbox for that contact type in the Contact Type Information section needs to be systematically checked and become a read-only field. All other contact type check boxes in the Contact Type Information section would remain editable and should be able to be manually selected as an additional contact type.

How can I achieve this function?

Thank you

You can make use of switch case based on selected contact type value, register an onchange event for dropdown control

Modifying Damian’s code here

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield1.DataValue=false;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield2.DataValue=false;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfieldN.DataValue=false;

switch (crmForm.all.new_picklistfield.DataValue)

{

case 1:

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield1.DataValue=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield1.Disabled=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield1.ForceSubmit=true;

break;

case 2:

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield2.DataValue=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield2.Disabled=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield2.ForceSubmit=true;

break;

case N:

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfieldN.DataValue=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfieldN.Disabled=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfieldN.ForceSubmit=true;

break;

}

Thanks,

You will need to do this using Javascript on CRM 4.0

Also when you make the field read only you need to add forceSubmit because CRM doesn't send this data to saved.

The code above by DEMIAN ADOLFO RASCHKOVAN should do the job but you will of course have to change the name of the new_checkboxfield to the name of the checkbox field.

good luck

RE: How to make checkbox automatically checked according to the selected value?

hi, the code you need for CRM 4.0 is:

if (crmForm.all.new_picklistfield.DataValue=="1")

{

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield.DataValue=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield.Disabled=true;

crmForm.all.new_checkboxfield.ForceSubmit=true;

}

if you disable the field, this one is not sent to the server, so you need to force it with "ForceSubmit".

regards

Thanks Vijay, where can I find JScript source code to achieve this functionality? I'm not familiar with JavaScript programming.

If you are using crm 2013 then business rule will work for you else you need to depend on JavaScript to achieve your functionality.

Create a PBL to implement this requirement. No code is required.

Fellow MVP Jukka has a good post that should teach you what you need.
