Onchange event gets fired when value is set programmatically using "setvalue "

Hi,

I have an onchange event set on a composite field (Address) on the form. Whenever the value changes in the field the onchange event gets fired. However on Save event of the page i am changing the value of the same field programmatically using Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_abc").setvalue(value)

Due to this, after save operation, the onchange event gets fired automatically. This is causing some issues on the page. i do not want the onchange to get fired after save.

Note : I have read that onchange events do not fire with setvalue. However i am still not able to make out why is this happening.

I do not want the onchange to fire after on save. Is there way to find out the source through which the onchange event is getting fired so that i can distinguish between when it is getting fired programmatically versus when getting fired from Form.

Do you have an example? Is the function also called as part of the form onLoad? This does get called on save.

Hi NancyMartha,

Are you using MS Dynamics CRM 2015 Update 1?

If yes, the issue actually you are facing is a bug technically in turbo form used in new form rendering engine introduce in 2015 update 1.

You can get out of this issue till the time it will fix in future updates by enabling Use Legacy form rendering.

In order to enable this setting navigate to Settings --> Administration --> System Settings

With in General Tab select YES for the option Use Legacy form Rendering and Click OK.

Reload CRM by F5 and check.

Hope this helps, Please mark this answer as verified if this works for you,thanks.

Hi NancyMartha,

You can get the event source,Please use the below code:

var eventSource = context.getEventSource();

if (typeof eventSource.getName != 'undefined') {

var sourceName = eventSource.getName();

}

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Hi Ankit,

We faced this issue in one of our crm online 2015 implementation. Actually what was happening in our case that on change of an option set we are giving a confirmation dialog to user, if user click on Cancel we are setting that option set to NULL programmatically but this caused again onChange event fire and went in loop.

We raise this concern with Microsoft and got reply that it is a bug which will resolve in future release with a workaround to enable Use Legacy Option from system setting. Thanks.

You may put below lines to overwrite existing funcationality of your control.

var cntr=Xrm.Page.getControl("<your control Id>");

cntr.setAttribute("onchange", function(){});

Or have you seen any schedule for release of this fix?
