Instead of Error Message when chosing a field value, showing a Warning / Note without locking the field ??

Posted on by yvka123 17

Hi experts, 

I am trying to show a warning message when a user is chosing a specific value in an option set. The Error Message created through a business rule would actually be perfect - BUT users should still be able to chose this value. With the error message, the value is locked and cannot be used. 

Is there a way to unlock the field and still have the error message appearing? 

Or is there maybe a different way of kind of showing a warning message? 

I know about the "recommendation" function, but it doesn't suit our needs since the user must click on the symbol to see the message. We need something that kind of pops up and draws attention... 

Thank you so much for any ideas!!

    Hi Abdul,

    thank you so much for your reply! Is there any way to do this in Low Code?

    I'm not a programmer unfortunately.

    Thanks

    Hi yvka123,

    You need to write something similar to below:

    function myfunction() {
    try {
        let formContext = _primaryControl;
        let optionSetValue = this.getValue(formContext, "maa_paymentgateway");
        if (optionSetValue === 809790000)
            openAlertDialog("This is alert");
            
    } catch (e) {
        openAlertDialog("Error"   e.message   ".");
    }
}

    function getValue(_formContext, _attribute) {//If control is missing than return ""
    let value = "";
    try {
        if (this.getControl(_formContext, _attribute) === true)
            value = _formContext.getAttribute(_attribute).getValue();
    } catch (e) {
        this.openAlertDialog("Error in getValue: "   e.message   ".");
    }
    return value;
}

    function getControl(_formContext, _control) {
    let control = false;
    try {
        if (_formContext.getControl(_control))
            control = true;
    } catch (e) {
        openAlertDialog("Error in getControl: "   e.message   ".");
    }
    return control;
}

    function openAlertDialog(_text) {
    try {
        Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog(_text);
    } catch (e) {
        Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog("Error in openAlertDialog: "   e.message   ".");
    }
}

    If I answer your question then please mark it as verified.

    Let me know if I can provide you with more details.

    Thanks
