Scripting tit-bits for Business Process stage field: Dynamics CRM 2013 Javascript

We were facing lot of issues in trying to show hide , set disabled / enable fields or nullify fields which were not present as fields on form in Dynamics CRM 2013 but just were accessible on business process stage on the form. Here are the ways to do the same I found:

Enable/Disable Business Process stage field:

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).setDisabled(false);  //Enabled

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).setDisabled(true);  //Disabled

Show/Hide Business Process stage field:

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).setVisible(true);  //Show

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).setDisabled(false);  //Hide

Get Value/ Set Value Business Process stage field:

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).getAttribute().setValue(value);  //Set Value

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).getAttribute().getValue();  //Get Value

Set and Remove Notification on Business Process stage field:

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).setNotification(“Notificationmessage”);  //Set Notification message

Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname’).clearNotification(); // Clear Notification message

Set Required levels on Business Process stage field:

(Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname).getAttribute()).setRequiredLevel(‘required’); //Required level

(Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname).getAttribute()).setRequiredLevel(‘none’); //none level

(Xrm.Page.getControl(‘header_process_fieldname).getAttribute()).setRequiredLevel(‘recommended’); //Recommended level

Note: I have noticed this code will work when current stage field in business process on form is visible on UI.

Change color for text fields :Dynamics CRM 2013

Sometimes we get requirement to change the forecolor for some fields in Dynamics CRM 2013 in order to highlight them in different color. So we implemented following script:

You can add the scripts on-load or based on some condition.

For changing color during field is non-selected:

//Setting red color

$(‘#fieldname’).find(‘div[class="ms-crm-Inline-Value"]‘).css(‘color’,color);

In order to change color during field is typed:

//Setting color blue during typing of field

$(‘#fieldname_i’).css(‘color’, color);

Note: This is unsupported script and may break in future if Microsoft changes something.

Get/Set currency field values in JavaScript for Dynamics CRM

I noticed a scenario where currency field value on CRM forms were not accessible using Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“Currency field name”).getValue() and 

Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“Currency field name”).setValue(Value)

The resolution is in such cases you can access currency fields in below manner:

// To get currency field

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(“Currency field name”).getValue();

// To set currency field

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(“Currency field name”).setValue(Value);
