How to change the subject based on selected value of an option set field?

Posted on by CatEatDog 65

I have an option set field named "Fruits" and it has items "Apple", "Pears", and "Oranges". The subject field has content "I want to eat [SelectedValuefromFruitsField]". Is it possible to add a business rule so that the content of subject field will be updated whenever the selected value changed in the Fruits field? If yes, how? Thank you in advance!

    Hi

    The easiest way to do this would be to use  workflow and then run the workflow on Create of the record and whenever the Fruit field is changed.

    Thank you very much for your response and recommendation, Sukh.

    This sounds more involved than I expected (I am new to MS CRM). I was hoping we could specify the subject field in the set field value textbox (i.e. "I want to eat %new_Fruits%."), but this seems not possible.

    You will need to add custom Javasript on the change of your option set or on Save of Form. Get the option set Text and append it with the Subject Field.

    var optionset = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("attributename")

    var optionText= optionset.getText();

    var  subjectText = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("subject").getValue();

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("subject").setValue( subjectText +" "+ optionText);

    please also put the null values  checks .
