Hiding sections based on lookup field value.

Posted on by Community Member

I am attempting to retrieve the value of a CRM 365 lookup field and determine whether to hide a section or not.

I have verified the tab and section names, ran the code successfully through a js validator, but having no luck hiding the field. What am I missing? Thanks!

function showSocial()

{

var curr = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("transactioncurrencyid").getValue()[0].name;

if (curr != null && curr.getValue() != null)

{

if (curr == "euro")

{

// Show the sections

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("Summary").sections.get("Social_pane").setVisible(false);

}

else

{

// Hide the section

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("Summary").sections.get("Social_pane").setVisible(true);

}

}

}

You wrote tab and social pane names wrong. It should be if you are using OOB names:

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("SUMMARY_TAB").sections.get("SOCIAL_PANE_TAB").setVisible(false);

You should always use "Name" value, not the "Label" value from the form elements properties.

Thanks for the feedback Ivan, but I am using the correct "Name" values. Double-checked twice already.

Did you try to debug it in browser console line by line? Than it's obviously bug in first if clause. Second condition is a bit strange to me, you should get an error if you try to execute .getValue() of string type.

Hi,

you have to use setvisible true for Show section(your code setVisible(false))

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("Summary").sections.get("Social_pane").setVisible(true);

like wise hide section

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("Summary").sections.get("Social_pane").setVisible(false);

Hi Tresia,

Please debug and check what is the reason behind this.

Please check you are getting the currency name in lower case.

try this

if (curr.toLowerCase()== "euro")

{

}

And please check below as well.

You need to change the code, instead true u need to use false and vice versa

// Show the sections

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("Summary").sections.get("Social_pane").setVisible(true);

// Hide the section

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("Summary").sections.get("Social_pane").setVisible(false);

Thanks

Hemant

That was it Ivan. I took that bit out and used the F12 debugger. Works fine now. Thanks!

Thanks Iswarya I may have those backward through testing different scenarios, but they are correct in the master code.

Thanks Hemant, the mix-up in true/false was just a testing scenario. It's correct in the master code. The currency name was pulling correctly once I adjusted the code as Ivan suggested.,
