Hi
I have a multi select option set field which I want it to hide base on the value of another optionset field. through business rules it seems imposibble because the field doesn’t apear on the entitiy’s fields list.

And also SetVisible function doesn't work on the field.
what should I do?

Regards

Hi,

You can create a on change event to achieve this. I used Account entity to test, if the value of industry field is Accounting, the ownership would be hidden.

Please follow the step:

1. Navigate to Data->Tables->Account->Account for Multisession experience, click Add Library button in Form Libraries.

2. Click New Web Resource button to create. After Web Resource created, choose that Web Resource to add library.

3. Click industry filed on the form and add on change event. Finally, save and publish form.

My sample code of Web Resource:

function formOnChange(executionContext){
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var industry = formContext.getAttribute("industrycode").getValue();
if(industry === 1){
formContext.getControl("ownershipcode").setVisible(false);
}else{
formContext.getControl("ownershipcode").setVisible(true);
}
}

Result:

When the value of industry isn't Accounting, ownership field is visible

Otherwise, ownership field is hidden

Thanks Steve for the answer.

My main problem is that the type of the field that I'm trying to hide is Multiselect option set. And setVisible function is not available for this type of field.

The field also doen't apear neather in the business rule properties nor at workflow conditions.

Hello,

Sorry for misunderstanding your question.

I created two Multiselect option set fields to test and add them to my form.

Two Multiselect option set fields:

My form:

When I change the value of myoption field, the anotheroption field will be hidden:

Here is my code:

function formOnChange(executionContext){ var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var myoption = formContext.getAttribute("cr5a6_myoption").getValue(); if(myoption) { formContext.getControl("new_anotheroption").setVisible(false); }else{ formContext.getControl("new_anotheroption").setVisible(true); } }

When you use setVisible function for Multiselect option set field, did you get any error message?

Hi,

Multi-select option sets can't be used with any of the below:

Workflows, business process flows, actions, dialogs, business rules, charts, rollup fields, or calculated fields.

For reference refer to MS documentation: docs.microsoft.com/.../types-of-fields

You'll need to write JS or custom code.
