Multiselect/Checkbox

Posted on by JMdeSingular

Hi everybody!!

I am working in CRM online '15. I need to create a multiselect/checkbox. I have been reading various blogs on the subject, but they are all related about CRM 4 or 2011 (the most current I have found). I am newer in programming/development.

I would like to create a typical checkbox on form but I wouldn't like to create a subgrid ( this option is suggested in some blog/forum)

Can you show me any article to learn to make that? I would appreciate that was updated

Thanks in advance

    While this is not a checkbox, this solution will accomplish what you want to do. It is called Xrm.Multiselect. Please have a look at ambeknet.wordpress.com/.../xrm-multiselect-quick-manual

    Hi,

    As multi select is not supported by CRM, but you can use html web resource where you can have check box created and then you can place this web resource in entity form.

    Refer: mahadeomatre.blogspot.ae/.../convert-option-set-to-multi-select.html

    Hi,

    I try to make the option HTML web resource and the result was wrong. I capture several pics to show the steps I did. (but I don't know how I show them cause It allows máximum 64 KB)

     

    I add the jQuery 1.11.3 to library form ( I change the path to the new jQuery library in the HTML code)

     

    I edited the HTML code with my custom  attributes:

    (attribute in code) == ( attribute in my code) == ( description ( type field))

    new_makeyear == new_selección == option set field( option set)

    new_selectedyears == new_selección_valores == text storage field(multiline text)

    new_selectedyearstext == new_selección_value == text storage field (multiline text)

    This is the result of code

    <html><head>

        <title></title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="new_jquery_1.11.3.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            function ConvertDropDownToCheckBoxList() {
                var dropdownOptions = parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_seleccion").getOptions();
                var selectedValue = parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_seleccion_valores").getValue();
                $(dropdownOptions).each(function (i, e) {
                    var rText = $(this)[0].text;
                    var rvalue = $(this)[0].value;
                    var isChecked = false;
                    if (rText != '') {
                        if (selectedValue != null && selectedValue.indexOf(rvalue) != -1)
                            isChecked = true;
                        var checkbox = "< input type='checkbox' name='r' / >" + rText + ""
                        $(checkbox)
                            .attr("value", rvalue)
                            .attr("checked", isChecked)
                              .attr("id", "id" + rvalue)
                            .click(function () {
                                //To Set Picklist Select Values
                                var selectedOption = parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_seleccion_valores").getValue();
                                if (this.checked) {
                                    if (selectedOption == null)
                                        selectedOption = rvalue;
                                    else
                                        selectedOption = selectedOption + "," + rvalue
                                }
                                else {
                                    var tempSelected = rvalue + ",";
                                    if (selectedOption.indexOf(tempSelected) != -1)
                                        selectedOption = selectedOption.replace(tempSelected, "");
                                    else
                                        selectedOption = selectedOption.replace(rvalue, "");
                                }
                                parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_seleccion_valores").setValue(selectedOption);
                                //To Set Picklist Select Text
                                var selectedYear = parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_seleccion_value").getValue();
                                if (this.checked) {
                                    if (selectedYear == null)
                                        selectedYear = rText;
                                    else
                                        selectedYear = selectedYear + "," + rText
                                }
                                else {
                                    var tempSelectedtext = rText + ",";
                                    if (selectedYear.indexOf(tempSelectedtext) != -1)
                                        selectedYear = selectedYear.replace(tempSelectedtext, "");
                                    else
                                        selectedYear = selectedYear.replace(rText, "");
                                }
                                parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_seleccion_value").setValue(selectedYear);
                            })
                            .appendTo(checkboxList);
                    }
                });
            }
        </script>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
    </head><body onload="ConvertDropDownToCheckBoxList()">
        <div id="checkboxList">
        </div>
    </body></html>


     Please help me with the process.

    What step do I make wrong?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Should I add any parameters in custom parameters (data) from Property web resource section (General tab) from Property web resource dialog box?

    Thank Deepesh,

    I have one question about your solution. When I select the option, How can I see/store the option selected?( "see" in a text file) I read the manual and I don't find anything about storage selected option.

    Thanks again
