Hi,

I want to check to condition if any one condition satisfies the Contact must save.

For Example. If the person entered Email or phone number for a contact it must be saved. If both are not Both are empty it must not be saved.

So i tried to achieve it using JavaScript.

But the Prevent.default() function is not working,

Any other suggestion would be grate

Thanks

Leonard Francis

Hi Leonard,

What is see in your description it say that if either phone or Email has value then only you want to save the record.

In this sceniro you no need to write prevent default. Just make this both field as mandatory and write a business rule if any of the field has value make the other field as Non-Mandatory and vice-Versa rule for other field.

Hi Francis,

Please Check it for Auto save

blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../manage-auto-save

inogic.com/.../all-you-want-to-know-about-auto-save

I would suggest you, write a JavaScript to check the first filed value say Email address if does not have any value make the second filed say Number as mandatory filed.

function SetRequirementLevel() {

var Emailaddress = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("Emailaddress ");

var Number= Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("Number");

if(Emailaddress!=null)

{

Number.setRequiredLevel("required");

}

else

{

Emailaddress.setRequiredLevel("required");

}

Hope it helps!!

Hi Francis,

This can be achieved by using Business Rule itself.

If you are using CRM 2016,then business rule have such functionality to acheive it or else you can go for Number.setRequiredLevel("required");

Forget JavaScript. Use a simple business rule that has two conditions:

If Email - Does not contain data

AND Phone - Does not contain data

Then

Show Error message on Email field "You must provide an email address or phone number as a minimum"

<second Action> Show Error message on Phone field "You must provide an email address or phone number as a minimum"

Showing an error message prevents the form from saving (just like "business required" does), but with the added bonus of not needing an "else" to reverse it back out again (if you change either field, the rule is re0evaluated and sees there is no need for an error now). The message helps to explain to the user why they can't save.
