     But after some time again it is changing to the previous text.

    Please helps me how to fix it?

    Regards,

    Priya

    Hi Priya,

    Changing the label using Javascript is not supported which is why you see the label going back to the previous value.

    You need to add Ribbon Customisations to do this which can be done by editing RibbonXml or you can use the Ribbon Workbench: http://ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/71374-1-getting-started-with-the-ribbon-workbench

    There is no way of dynamically changing the label in a supported way - you can enable/disable buttons dynamically, or use a flyout anchor to create the buttons on the fly : http://www.develop1.net/public/post/Add-Dynamic-Menu-to-Ribbon-Button.aspx

    Hello Scott,

    Using javascript in form onload I am hiding and showing the custom ribbon button.

    It is working fine. But when I am updating any field, script is firing but style is not applying.

    So it is displaying all the buttons.

    Below the script I am using.

    function renameCreateContract() {

    var contractGuid = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_contract").getValue();
    //Getting the Create contract button ID
    var createContractBtn = top.document.getElementById("quote|NoRelationship|Form|MyOrg.Form.quote.MainTab.MyOrgQuote.CreateContract-Large");
    //Getting the Update contract button ID
    var updateContractBtn = top.document.getElementById("quote|NoRelationship|Form|MyOrg.Form.quote.MainTab.MyOrgQuote.UpdateContract-Large");

    //If the contract look field contains data
    if (contractGuid != null) {
        updateContractBtn.style.display = '';
        createContractBtn.style.display = 'none';
    }
    else {
        createContractBtn.style.display = '';
        updateContractBtn.style.display = 'none';
    }
}

    I am doing anythig wrong?

    Regards,

    Priya.

    Hi,
       Instead of using JScript to hide/show ribbon buttons, better approach and supported way is to use DisplayRule. For your requirement, you can use DisplayRule with ValueRule. You can check following posts to see how you can achieve it.

    Hi Vicky,

    Thanks for your replay.

    The above links are using the static value for value rules.

    Can you please provide some information for dynamic value rules?

    Hi Priya,

    Unfortunately, you can only use Custom Javascript rules with enable/disable rules. You could try using JavaScript to set a value on the form and then refreshing the ribbon with a value rule.
