How to setRequired specific control or attribute if it's multiple on form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by sahara 645

My mission is to check if a control is visible and if it is then to set it as required. On my form I have the same field twice (in different sections) so to check my control visibility I use this code:

 if(Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab1").sections.get("section").controls.get("attrname").getVisible()) -works
{
           Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab1").sections.get("section").controls.get("attrname").setRequiredLevel("required"); - doesn't work - error
           Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab1").sections.get("section").controls.get("attrname").getAttribute("attrname").setRequiredLevel("required");- doesn't work - error
    }

I have a prob in setting the specific attr/control as required, is it possible ?

    Hello,

    In your previous thread we have already started discussion on your current question - community.dynamics.com/.../how-to-get-specific-attribute-from-a-specific-tab-and-section

    I replied that you can't set required level for a specific control - it's attribute's property so it will set requirement level of all of controls related to particular attribute.

    Hi Sahara

    For first instance of your field on your form use "attrname" for second instance "attrname1".

    Hi Sahara,

    • what's the error you encounter with your current script?
    • Have you tried with this script to Set the required level: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("x").setRequiredLevel("required");
    • In addition, which page event are you involving this logic function in? Onload, OnChange?
    • How are you maintaining the visibility of the fields, please try to involve the required level setting together with visibility changing if applicable.

    Regards,

    Chris X
