Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to make a field on a contact record required if a field on the related account record equals a particular option? My suspicion is no based on playing around with the business rules, so I am also wondering what the best alternative might be?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi,
Agree with Ben, you need to retrieve other entity record so that you can check condition and moreover you need to use following syntax:
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("logicalnameoffield") ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("logicalnameoffield").setRequiredLevel("required") : false;
Hope this help you... !

The easiest way would be a piece of Javascript loaded when the page loaded and when the value of the related account record was changed.
Something like this should do it
function makeFieldRequired()
{
// set field as none mandatory before starting off as its easier than doing it later in multiple places.
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("field to make mandatory").setRequiredLevel("none");
// get the accountId from the form
var accountId="";
if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("accountId").getValue() != null) {
accountId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].id;
}
if (accountId!= ""){
// if it's found we can now query the account record for the field we care about
Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("account", accountId, "?$select=name,fieldname").then(function success(result) {
// Perform operations on record retrieval
if (result.fieldname== "expectedvalue") {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("field to make mandatory").setRequiredLevel("required");
}
,function error(result){console.log("something went wrong: "+error.message);});
}
}
