    Hello all,

    I have just made some customizations in email form. (load event javascript)

    But now when I choose options to convert it to opportunity or activity I get message first save data before continuing, checking javascript logic I see that  this message appears when isDirty method returns true, How can I set this value to false ?

    IsDirty is a property and not a method, so you can set this property to false by using the folowing code.

    crmForm.IsDirty=false;

    Thanks for reply ....

    But when I try to do what ever action for example save or convert to oportunity now I get javascript error. This happens after I set crmForm.IsDirty=false; as last sentence on load form event

    Has anyone done something similar ?

    Hi Yojan,

    The IsDirty property of CrmForm is readonly one, we can't set its value, if we try to do so we would get the following error

    "Object does not support this property or method."

    If you are getting form not saved information while converting email , one thing you could do is to try debugging the existing JavaScript on you email form. Try by disabling and enabling script one by one for different attributes or form. This might help to find the reason for that issue.

    I'm guessing that your customizations are javascript and modifying the field values on your form. In this case you should try to work out some logic to only update value when needed. Not every time.

    If you're not updating any field values then are you using the "ForceSubmit" switch on any attributes? I think this sets the isDirty property too.

    The value of IsDirty is calculated by comparing the values of the DataValue and defaultValue properties. So, to set IsDirty to false, you could use:

    crmForm.all.<fieldname>.DataValue = crmForm.all.<fieldname>.defaultValue;

    Note that the ForceSubmit property does not actually set the IsDirty property. Instead it is also checked when validating the form, but you can directly set it to false.

    Thanks DavidJennaway ,

    This exactely solved my problem.

    Making some customization onLoad event and adding this sentece afterwards:
    crmForm.all.<fieldname>.defaultValue = crmForm.all.<fieldname>.DataValue

    Regards

    This method is only working for fields containing string values. It does not change the IsDirty-flag because defaultValue is a string.

    But why is that?

    So this is not working:

    function resetIsDirty(fields) {
 
    for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
 
        if (fields[i].DataValue) {
 
            fields[i].defaultValue = fields[i].DataValue;
        }
    }
    return fields;
};
    How can we avoid the crmForm.detachCloseAlert()-method and have a granular control over the IsDirty-value?
    Regards

    Here's the solution to prevent detaching the whole form validation due to modification:

    function resetDirtyFields() {
 
    crmForm.detachCloseAlert();
 
    var iLen = crmForm.all.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < iLen; i++) {
 
        var o = crmForm.all[i];
        if (o.tagName == 'INPUT') {
            o.attachEvent('onchange', function () {
 
                window.onbeforeunload =
                        function () {
                            if (crmForm.IsDirty()) {
 
                                event.returnValue = "Changes will get lost.";
                                return false;
                            }
                        };
            });
        }
    }
}

    As my code above alerts the user while saving the record when the form is dirty.
    

    Here's the solution that works without that issue:
    

    function resetDirtyFields() {
 
    crmForm.detachCloseAlert();
 
    //declare gobal variable to store information about the save event
        isSavingAction = false;
 
    crmForm.attachEvent('onsave', function () {
 
    isSavingAction = true;

 
    });
 
    var iLen = crmForm.all.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < iLen; i++) {
 
        var o = crmForm.all[i];
        if (o.tagName == 'INPUT') {
            o.attachEvent('onchange', function () {
 
                window.onbeforeunload =
                        function () {
 
                            if (!isSavingAction) {
                              if (crmForm.IsDirty()) {
 
                                    event.returnValue = "Changes will get lost.";
                                    returnfalse;
                                }
                            }
                        };
            });
        }
    }
}
