Custom control optionset doesn't support addOption, removeOption and clearOptions

Hi,

we are using a optionset custom control on an optionset on a form inside an Unified Interface app.

It seems that the formContext.getControl(arg) doesn't contain functions to add, remove or clear options from the optionset.
If we are opening up the form in a web app it works fine (Since it doesnt use the custom control if not in Unified Interface).

Is it possible to do this in another way?

I reported this to Microsoft and the fix is being released online in version 9.1.0.4832.

Still no word on OnPremise.

Hi,

this works if we arent using the CustomControl.

If you want to try this out.

Open your optionset control properties in the form editor.

Chose the controls tab and the add the optionset control and activate it for the web.

Then reload the form in the unified interface app.

Now you will see the mobile control "custom control" is used instead of the "normal optionset control".

When you now try to use addOption or removeOption they won't be on the control object.

Please try that and If you figure it out, get back to me :)

Hi partner,

Did you try to use "Xrm.Page.getControl(arg).addOption({value,text})" instead?

For example:

Xrm.Page.getControl("purchaseprocess").addOption({value:100000000,text:"Test1"})

It worked both in classic web and unified interface.

Here is also a blog for you to refer to.

Hope it helps.
