How to disable a field by picklist selection RRS feed

    I am trying to modify an entity form so that another field will be enabled or disable depending on the selection of a drop down.  I have this both the onload and onsave. event. This is causing CRM to crash. Below is the code:

     

    if (crmForm.all.new_pipelinestatus.DataValue != 3 || crmForm.all.new_pipelinestatus.DataValue != 7)
    {
        // to disable a field
        crmForm.all.new_lastfollowupdate.disabled = true;
    }

    The above code is very simple but It does not work. The Picklist is called new_pipelinestatus and the field to be disabled is a date field called new_lastfollowupdate.

    Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this? I cant see why it would not work or cause problems  in CRM

    Hi,

    Try changing 'disabled' to 'Disabled':

    if (crmForm.all.new_pipelinestatus.DataValue != 3 || crmForm.all.new_pipelinestatus.DataValue != 7)
    {
    // to disable a field
    crmForm.all.new_lastfollowupdate.Disabled = true;
    }

    Hope that helps,

    Rob

    You should try the debugging technique laid out here.  It works for CRM 4.0 also.

    It might help you figure out what is breaking and why.

    In addition to Rob's pointer, I think you may also have to re-evaluate your logic.  The predicate:

    crmForm.all.new_pipelinestatus.DataValue != 3 || crmForm.all.new_pipelinestatus.DataValue != 7

    will always evaluate to 'true'.

    I did take predicate logic in school but I guess i brain dumped most of it.

    I read the article mentioned above for stepping through the Javascript and was able to troubleshoot the code. I changed the logic and uppercased the "D" and now the code works. Thanks for your help and pointers guys!

     

    Thanks,
