Posted on by 47

I have an entity which contains a field of type single line of text. Is it possible to add custom attribute to this field?

For example: I have Max length as an attribute of Single Line of Text Field. Is it possible to create another attribute Minimum length that takes the minimum number of characters to be entered in that field?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Sunayana

    For minimum length, you will have to write a javascript.

    please use following lines of code:

    function TemsAndCondtitionsValidation(Excontext)
    {
        var termsConds = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_termsconditions").getValue();
        if(termsConds.length < 140)   {
            Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("The length of characters entered are less than the minimum requirement of 140 characters");
            context.getEventArgs().preventDefault(); // cancel save
        }
    }

    But what If I want to take the minimum characters dynamically?

    Here, 140 is static.

    Hi Sunayana,

    to achieve this dynamically, You can create another field(type: Whole Number) to maintain the minimum length for your field and you can fetch the length dynamically. Now, the Arun's JS will look like this:

    function TemsAndCondtitionsValidation(Excontext)

    {

     var termsConds = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_termsconditions").getValue();

    var minimumlength=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_minimumlength").getValue();

       if(termsConds.length < minimumlength)   {

           Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("The length of characters entered are less than the minimum requirement of "+minimumlength+" characters");

           context.getEventArgs().preventDefault(); // cancel save

       }

    }
