Hi Expert,

Have a current requirement, to say, if the activity type is Appointment and Appointment Activity owner is /Portal User/, show the Activity home page ribbon button /Cancel/, otherwise hide it. I try to user Ribbon Workbench Enable Rule to get it work. My code as below,

async function hideHomePageCancelBtn(firstSelectedItemId) {    debugger;    const activity = await Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord(        'activitypointer',        firstSelectedItemId,        '?$select=activitytypecode',        /?$expand=appointment($select=ownerid)/    );    const isAptType = activity['activitytypecode'];    const owner = appointment['ownerid']    if (isAptType === appointment) {        if (owner === 'Portal User')            return true;    } else {        return false;    }}

After created Enable Rule and attached to the Command, tested it, not work.

The rule set up as below

Any suggestions/solutions are welcome and appreciated!

Hi,

You can hide the button by getting the HTML element for the cancel button and setting its style to display=none.

The code is shown below.

async function hideHomePageCancelBtn(firstSelectedItemId) {

const activity = await Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord( 'activitypointer',firstSelectedItemId,'?$select=activitytypecode&$expand=owninguser($select=fullname)');
const isAptType = activity.activitytypecode;
const owner = activity.owninguser.fullname;
//get the cancle button html element
var cancleButton = parent.parent.window.document.querySelector("button[aria-label='Cancel']");
if(cancleButton !=null){
if (isAptType === "appointment") {
if (owner !== 'System Administrator'){
// hide the cancle button
cancleButton.style.display ="none";
}

}
}else{
// Wait for some time to check again if the page elements are loaded.
setTimeout(hideHomePageCancelBtn, 10, firstSelectedItemId);
}

}

The final result is shown below, hiding the /Cancel/ button when the owner is not the System Administrator.

Hey

Did you checked the response of your enable rule on the UI?
If not, please check it through - Debug Ribbon button customization using Command Checker in Dynamics 365 CE Unified Interface | D365 Demystified.

Let me know if this works.
Thanks!
