Lock Web Resource

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Paul D Richards 50

I have added a "lock" field to the same form that this web resource is on.  I would like to prevent the resource from running based on this lock field and display a hidden field in its place.  

Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

I tried adding this at the start and end, but was not successful.

var lockform = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_lockworkorder").getvalue();

     if (lockform !== "Yes"){

<The rest of the Script>

}

     else {   

           Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_9").sections.get("tab_10_section_1").setVisible(true); 

}

}

Appreciate the assistance!

    Hi Paul,

    As per my understanding, it seems that "new_lockworkorder" is an optionset field.

    The value of option in optionset field is integer number, thus formContext.getAttribute("new_lockworkorder").getvalue() will only get number value.

    We can use getText function: formContext.getAttribute("new_lockworkorder").getText(); to get text value of selected option.

    Yes, I can use Business Rule for the other field.

    When you said "remove some part of original code" - can you please explain?  The code needs to work when lockworkorder is set to "No".  This is a simple 2 Option field with default of No.

    I changed to:

    var lockform = formContext.getAttribute("new_lockworkorder").getvalue();

        if (lockform !== "Yes"){

    But am not successful.

    Hi Paul,

    As per my understanding towards your code, it seems that your "lock" field is a single line text field, and you will display and hide web resource and other field based on value of the field.

    To the best of my knowledge, I believe your solution would the most simplest way to accomplish your requirement,

    because web resource could be only hidden by JS code.

    Thus suggestions I could give are:

    1.  Run business rule to control field visibility, only run JS code to control web resource visibility.(Remove some part of original code.)

    2. Migrate deprecated Xrm.Page to replacement formContext.

    Regards,
