Is anyone else having issues or is this a known bug, where on Create view of the opportunity form, tabs not being hidden?

I have available on phones set to true, visible by default set to false. I even tried to set the tab to hidden using JS as the last line to be executed in the load function and it still shows up.

After the opportunity is created, the tab is hidden from view correctly and shown correctly based on the JS and form rules.

Hi,

I'm not seeing this here - tabs get hidden as expected. Is that a custom form/is that an out-of-the-box form? Is it just any tab or some specific tab only?

Can you check if there is a required field inside that tab. I believe if a required field is there CRM will make it visible.

It's the out-of-box form that has had a lot of customization's added to it.

It looks like it's trying to show all of the tabs for the (on create) view of the opportunity, even though none should be showing except the General tab for on create.

No required fields, the tab is literally showing nothing right now for the on create view.

I've attached a screenshot of one of the tabs - Outcome.

Wondering if you are changing visibility of sections/fields in your scripts as well.. I think I saw situations where crm would get confused if tried to hide a tab, and, then had another script that would display a section in that tab..

Ya there is a lot of hiding/showing based on certain criteria.

For the Outcome tab shown above, it has three sections.

The tab is set to visible (false)

Two sections set to visible(true)

one section set to visible(false)

Some of the sections have fields where some are hidden by default and some that are shown by default.

I guess my assumption when scripting this out was that visibility would flow from parent to child.

If tab is visible, check to see if section is visible, if section is visible, show fields

If tab is not visible, everything gets hidden.

That's how it should be, but I would still try to comment out that part of your JS that's working with the sections/fields, and only keep the part that's setting tab visibility.. see if that helps. If it does, then,maybe, try not to do anything with the sections/fields if your tab is already hidden.

100% of that code though is within the true branch of IF conditions that aren't evaluating to true. (otherwise I'd see a lot more inconsistencies.

Which are there any debugging tools for phones? I'm not even sure how to start debugging this.

Hiding /Showing tabs is not supported in Mobile . According to the SDK :

The following methods won’t work in Dynamics 365 mobile clients (phones and tablets).

- Xrm.Page.context.getCurrentTheme

- Xrm.Page.uiViewPort Methods

- Xrm.Page.data.entity.getDataXml

- Xrm.Page.ui.navigation.items collection

- Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector object methods

- Xrm.Page.ui tab.setDisplayState.
