hide multiple fields in CRM using wildcard for fieldnames

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Seamus 1,577

Hello,

I want to hide several fields via an onchange event for a yes/no field on a CRM form.

The field names all have the same prefix so is there any way I can use a wildcard to set the visibility of all the fields based on their fieldname.

So instead of individually:

Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_sg2_text1").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_sg2_text2").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_sg2_text3").setVisible(true);

I would like something like

Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_sg2_%").setVisible(true);

Many thanks for any suggestions.

- Seamus

    its different

    in place of setdisable write setvisible ,as below

    entityObject.attributes.forEach(function (control, index) {

    if (attributeEnableList.indexOf(control.getName()) == -1 && !control.getName().toString().includes(".")) {

    entityObject.attributes.getByName(control.getName()).controls.getByName(control.getName()).setVisible(false);

    }

    });

    if its helped then please mark as resolved to help it other

    Thanks Ambar, - sorry for being slow to grasp this but (a) how I would I amend your code to use the wildcard "new_sg2_" and (b) is setDisabled the same as setVisible? Many thanks again.

    Hello ,

    Use below .

    entityObject.attributes.forEach(function (control, index) {
    if (attributeEnableList.indexOf(control.getName()) == -1 && !control.getName().toString().includes(".")) {
    entityObject.attributes.getByName(control.getName()).controls.getByName(control.getName()).setDisabled(true);
    }
    });

    you could change the check condition as per your need .
