Dear Ammar,

You can use business rules, please take a look to this link : www.dynamicscrmpros.com/hiding-section-fields-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2013-using-business-rules

Ammar,

You can create new field programmatically:

Using CreateAttributeRequest

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg509025.aspx

msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.xrm.sdk.messages.createattributerequest.aspx

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

create one field to enter the data, set it to be hidden and use the business rule to enable\display the field and validate it according to the option chosen on the picklist\optionset

-Or Fill value accordingly based on another field?

Ammar,

Oh..

If this then you can use Business Rule of JavaScript if too complex.

Because your subject is 'Create field' so that I thought you wanted to create a field programmatically.

Or you can try to elaborate more if you cannot achieve this using business rule,.

Thanks,

Ammar,

Plugin is kind of overkill if you achieved it using Business Rule.

Example here:

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

It sounds to me like you need this:

One option set field

A series of text fields to store related data (email, website, mobile...), all added to the form but not visible by default.

A Business Rule to reveal the appropriate field based on the user's option set selection.
