Hi Graeme,

I don't think any supported way to do this. However you can try with unsupported way accessing DOM element.

As per the previous post, there's no supported way to this. Two supported alternatives are:

Display a notification, using the setFormNotification method

Use the entity image, if you're not otherwise using it, and maybe display a red image for inactive records

The possible option, you can try it out with HTML web resources with colors in it. You have to dynamically load HTML web resources based on your status value.

If Status Open - Html web resource with green color If the status is Lost - you can load HTML resource with Red.

You can add field in header in form with Status across header

and change color with JS

function FieldColor() {

var field = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("Field Name").getValue();

var element1 = document.getElementsByClassName("Name for this Element")[0];

if (field == Value for inactive){

element1.style.background = "#FF7F50";

}

else element1.style.background = "#02F226";

}

This is how I do it.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks, Ivan.

I found a similar article online and have deployed the solution already, but this is in essence how I did it.

I have it running off the Status code so Active or Inactive for now.

function changecolor() {
var status = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("statuscode").getValue();

if (status == '1')
{
document.getElementById("Field I want to change the background of").style.backgroundColor = "Green";
}
else if (status == '0')
{
document.getElementById("Field I want to change the background of").style.backgroundColor = "Red";
}
}
