Hide or remove Attach Files From component in knowledge article for interactive experience form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jolas365 235

Hello Partners,

Is there an OOB way to hide or remove the "Attach Files From" dropdown in KA's knowledge article for interactive experience form? In our app, we have enabled Document Management from the entity level so that all attachments would be maintained in a Sharepoint folder.

    RE: Hide or remove Attach Files From component in knowledge article for interactive experience form

    Hello Rahul Dubey ,

    Is it possible to hide it in customization.xml? I created a new solution containing only knowledge article and knowledge article attachment entities, then I exported it.

    Please see below the customization. xml:

    <ImportExportXml xmlns:xsi="">www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance">

    <Entities>

    <Entity>

    <Name LocalizedName="Knowledge Article" OriginalName="">KnowledgeArticle</Name>

    <EntityInfo>

    <entity Name="KnowledgeArticle" unmodified="1">

    <attributes />

    </entity>

    </EntityInfo>

    <RibbonDiffXml>

    <CustomActions />

    <Templates>

    <RibbonTemplates Id="Mscrm.Templates"></RibbonTemplates>

    </Templates>

    <CommandDefinitions />

    <RuleDefinitions>

    <TabDisplayRules />

    <DisplayRules />

    <EnableRules />

    </RuleDefinitions>

    <LocLabels />

    </RibbonDiffXml>

    </Entity>

    <Entity>

    <Name LocalizedName="Knowledge Article Attachment" OriginalName="Knowledge Article Attachment">msdyn_kbattachment</Name>

    <EntityInfo>

    <entity Name="msdyn_kbattachment" unmodified="1">

    <attributes />

    </entity>

    </EntityInfo>

    <RibbonDiffXml>

    <CustomActions />

    <Templates>

    <RibbonTemplates Id="Mscrm.Templates"></RibbonTemplates>

    </Templates>

    <CommandDefinitions />

    <RuleDefinitions>

    <TabDisplayRules />

    <DisplayRules />

    <EnableRules />

    </RuleDefinitions>

    <LocLabels />

    </RibbonDiffXml>

    </Entity>

    </Entities>

    <Roles></Roles>

    <Workflows></Workflows>

    <FieldSecurityProfiles></FieldSecurityProfiles>

    <Templates />

    <EntityMaps />

    <EntityRelationships />

    <OrganizationSettings />

    <optionsets />

    <CustomControls />

    <EntityDataProviders />

    <Languages>

    <Language>1033</Language>

    </Languages>

    </ImportExportXml>

    Since I have no prior experience manipulating the xml file, I am not sure how to hide that attachment button custom action in xml file.

    Thanks

    You need to export the form xml, where control is added and manually make the changes in XML to disable it , it is not supported way but will work

    something similar:

    Hi Jolas365,

    There is no OOB way to hide this button. Usually, we use Ribbon Workbench to hide button. However, when I add 'Knowledge Article Attachment', I get the following error:

    You can try this on your side. If not work, you could try to follow this blog:
