Getting the following error while trying to add JScript to a form to show/hide sections based on a type filed and owner. Any help is appreciated!

    I would highly recommend to use F12 and debug to see where the script fails.

    RE: Unable to get property 'getvalue' of undefined or null reference

    Hi,

    Please find below updated code. I have update condition check with == instead of =. Also removed unneccessary curly braces. I have also update fullname with name. 

    // JavaScript source code

//Show/hide sections based on request type and owner

function showHideProductTestSections() {

//get field value

var RequestType = window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_requesttype").getText();

var Owner = window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("ownerid").getValue();

(Owner[0].name == "Jayna DeMedeiros") || (Owner[0].name == "Dr. Chris Andreola") || 
(Owner[0].name == "Dr. Mihai Bancu") || (Owner[0].name == "Dr. Jennifer Frias") || 
(Owner[0].name == "Dr. Amanda Stubbs") || (Owner[0].name == "Rich Bellizzi") ||

}
}

    Now only thing you should change in your code is Tab name and section name. I have highlighted the name in tab properties.

    RE: Unable to get property 'getvalue' of undefined or null reference

    Hello,

    Here are few additional changes you should apply:

    1. If you want to use Display Value of optionset field and not int value of it use getText instead of getValue (that will return the whole number value and not the label) - docs.microsoft.com/.../gettext

    2. When you compare owner use name, not the fullname so comparison should look like Owner[0].name == "Dr. Jason Galary", not like Owner[0].fullname == "Dr. Jason Galary"

    3. Seems that for getting of Tabs and Sections you used labels but not names. You should use names - open carefully properties of each tab/section and replace with the name and not label.

    Good luck.

    Also my strong recommendation - master basics of JS troubleshooting - you will get the result much faster. I recorded the video where I demonstrated those basics - www.youtube.com/watch

    RE: Unable to get property 'getvalue' of undefined or null reference

    Thank you Andrew, I made the suggested changes and the error fixed. Now I can load/save the record with the event enabled on the form but its not hiding the tabs/sections as expected. Any thoughts? Thank you again for taking the time to review and for your suggestions, I don't write a lot of Java and really appreciate the help!

    RE: Unable to get property 'getvalue' of undefined or null reference

    Hello,

    Your code doesn't work because you use Labels instead of schema names for your attributes. Here is an example:

    window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("Owner").getValue(); - incorrect

    window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("ownerid").getValue(); - correct

    Also following line:

    Owner = "Dr. Jason Galary"

    will always fail because - lookup is an array of objects so in order to make your code correctly here is correct comparison:

    Also comparison in JS is ==, not =.

    Owner[0].name == "Dr. Jason Galary"
