pass field name as a parameter to get value of field

I have a date field I want to use across many forms and I do a date check off number of days

and I check multiple fields on the date form

I created a javscript to do the date check and I want to know if you can pass the field name as a parameter and then use get value as you see below

var datefield = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(attributename).getValue();

I pass the attribute name which is the one of many names of the fields on the form

so I want to know if I can pass a field name and get the value of it dynamically rather then explicitly call the field in the phone

Hi,

Can you clarify what you mean by getting the value dynamically? If you mean that you would like to recycle the line of JavaScript, what you can do is define another string variable and pass it in to the parameter. But this is making it unnecessarily complicated.

It is better to define and get each field invidually:

var datefield1 = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(attributename1).getValue();

var datefield2 = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(attributename2).getValue();

I use several date fields on many forms I created jscript to do validations on the dates

I thought I could pass in the name of the field I want to check on the form to get the value and then run it against checking the date

I have to explicitly name the field in js

I so your saying to pass the field into a variable so if the field is not on that particular form it will bypass it?

Hi,

You can check if the field is not on a form like this:

var ABC= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("your_attribute_name").getValue();

if (ABC != null) {

}

Again, you would need to do this for each of the fields and so I recommend putting a check in a JScript function. I also like to add another condition in case the field exists but is empty:

var ABC= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("your_attribute_name").getValue();

if (ABC != null && ABC != "") {

}

I'm sorry, my previous comment is incorrect. Try this:

var ABC= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("your_attribute_name");

if (ABC != null) {

//run your code

}
