Posted on by msboy 140

Hello, Guys, I have this script that sets a field required if another field value == submit, I debugged it and var field is equal submit, but the resolution field does not become required right a away it only becomes required when you save the record 

don't know what I am doing wrong need some help and feedback 

function setRequired()
{

// Access the field on the form
var field = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_reportstatus").getText();
if(field == "Submit")
{
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_resolution").setRequiredLevel("required");
}
else
{
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_resolution").setRequiredLevel("none");
}
}

    Hi partner,

    If you want to use js code, you should check the following points:

    1.If "new_reportstatus" is a text field, you could try var field =Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_reportstatus").getValue() instead.

       If "new_reportstatus" is an options set field, you could try var field =Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_reportstatus").getText() instead.

    2.According to your description, you may set the js function when "OnLoad" the form, you should add this function to "new_reportstatus" feild onchange event.

    Hope it helps.

    Best Regards,

    Leo

    Business rule would not work because it’s a multiple select option set

    Hi,

    I am not sure why you are not using business rules, use busineas rules no code approach.

    Following things you need to check.

    1. If I am not wrong "new_reportstatus" is an optionset field so always check with value instead of hard code text , text may be changed.

    var optval= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_reportstatus").getValue();

    if(optval == "86000000")

    {

    // set field required

    }

    2. In which event you are triggering the method , You need to trigger on change  of the new_reportstatus field or in the onload to see the field required before save.

    3. In addition when you debug your code required field  line is executing?

    You probably have your function set to trigger during OnSave event.

    You should register your function on "new_reportstatus" field during OnChange event using form editor, see my screenshot below:
