Hi, my situation is that I have a field twice on the same form and I need to get one of them, I thought about getting the section and then the tab and the attribute, how can I do that?

    This works:

    formContext.ui.tabs.get(3).sections.get(0).controls.get(0).getAttribute("msdyn_instructions").setRequiredLevel("required")

    Control doesn't have requirement level possibility. Attribute has. Try following:

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("colour").setRequiredLevel("required");

    it works great but now I have a new prob I need to set this control/attr as required and I fet errors:

    if(Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab1").sections.get("section").controls.get("colour").getVisible()) - works

    {

     Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab1").sections.get("section").controls.get("colour").setRequiredLevel("required"); - doesn't work - error

     Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab1").sections.get("section").controls.get("colour").getAttribute("colour").setRequiredLevel("required");- doesn't work - error

    }

    Attribute doesn't have visibility. Attribute is all about the data.

    Control is about visible/hidden.

    Try following:

    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab").sections.get("Vehicle").controls.get("colour")

    or

    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab").sections.get("Vehicle").controls.get("colour1")

    because indexing is used when there are multiple controls for the same field - docs.microsoft.com/.../controls-collection

    I tried this :

    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab").sections.get("Vehicle").getAttribute("colour")

    I need to check if one of the "fields" is visiable

    Hello,

    Attribute is the same but it has 2 controls. What's your scenario?
