I trying to hide the tab when the work order is not completed or invoices. I am getting the following error "TypeError: formContext.getAttribute(...).getvalue is not a function" for the following piece of code:

function TabHideOnLoadOnChange(executionContext){
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var WorkOrderStatus = formContext.getAttribute("sog_parentstatus").getvalue();
    var TabName = formContext.ui.tab.get("Survey_tab");
    var complete = 922830005;
    var invoiced = 922830006;
    if (WorkOrderStatus == complete || WorkOrderStatus == invoiced){
        TabName.setVisibile("true");
    }
    else{
        TabName.setVisibile("fasle");
    }
}
I also checked if the "sog_parentstatus" is present in the form and I am able to locate the field in the form, still I am getting the same error.

hi

Make sure that the sog_parentstatus attribute is correctly set up in your form and that it returns a valid value.

The issue here is due to two main problems:

1. Incorrect Method Name: getvalue() should be getValue().

2. Incorrect Parameter Type in setVisible(): The setVisible() method expects a boolean parameter (true or false) rather than a string.

Here’s the corrected code:

function TabHideOnLoadOnChange(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var WorkOrderStatus = formContext.getAttribute("sog_parentstatus").getValue();

var TabName = formContext.ui.tabs.get("Survey_tab");

var complete = 922830005;

var invoiced = 922830006;

if (WorkOrderStatus == complete || WorkOrderStatus == invoiced) {

TabName.setVisible(true);

} else {

TabName.setVisible(false);

}

}

Explanation of the Changes

getValue(): Use getValue() instead of getvalue() to retrieve the value.

setVisible(true/false): Pass true or false directly (no quotes), as setVisible() expects a boolean value.

This should resolve the error you’re facing and allow the tab visibility to work based on the WorkOrderStatus.
