Hi Danish,

Please set the field property setsubmitmode= always.

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").setSubmitMode("always");

Hi,

You may need to set submit mode for field to save data forcefully on save of record.

Please check below links for more info:

Hope this helps:)

Hi Danish,

I have tried your requirement on trail. For me, business rule seems to be working fine.

I think business rule is enough in this scenario, script is not required.

See the below screen shot. Did it on fax field

Thanks and Regards

Can you tell me where I will use Submit mode in my JS

function genericLock()

{

var fieldObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("acx_favoriteactor").getValue();

if(fieldObj != null)

{

Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("acx_favoriteactor").setDisabled (true);

}

}

Thank you for your Suggestion Sardar Ahmed.

Yes business rule is working fine. Suppose i do not fill Data into Fax field and save the form. Again i open this form and edit the details along with fax field in this case Fax field data does not save .

Hi Danish,

You can get it working as follows:

function genericLock()

{

var fieldObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("acx_favoriteactor").getValue();

if(fieldObj != null)

{

Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("acx_favoriteactor").setDisabled (true);

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("acx_favoriteactor").setSubmitMode("always");

}

}

Thanks:)
