    Hello-

    I am trying to to change the required level on a field based on the value in another field.  For example a Lookup field is Required.  I want to change the required level to none if 'Research' is the value selected in an Option Set field.  Thi is not working.  What am I doing wrong?

    function Form_OnSave() {
     }
     function Form_OnLoad() {
         setRequire()
     }
     function setRequired() {

    var type = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cprs_type").getSelectedOption().text;

         if (type == "Option5") {
             // If the value is Research set field primarypractice areas required level as none

             Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cpdc_primarypracticearea").setRequiredLevel("none");
         }
         else

        {
             Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cpdc_primarypracticearea").setRequiredLevel("required");

             // if value is not Research then set primary practiceareas field required level as required

         }
     }

    Hi,

    What sort of errors do you get? What is type set to? Have you tried to debug it either with developer's console or spam with alerts?

    You're missing a semi-colon in the OnLoad event, which might cause syntax errors

    function Form_OnLoad() {
      setRequire();
  }

    HI,

    Call the function properly that's it.

    setRequired();

    in addition to the semicolon missing, there is a problem with getSelectedOption().text

    if that optionset has no value you get an error, use .getText instead:

    function Form_OnSave() {
}
function Form_OnLoad() {
   setRequire();
}
function setRequired() {
var type = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cprs_type").getText();
if (type == "Option5") {
// If the value is Research set field primarypractice areas required level as none
   Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cpdc_primarypracticearea").setRequiredLevel("none");
} else {
   Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cpdc_primarypracticearea").setRequiredLevel("required");
// if value is not Research then set primary practiceareas field required level as required
}
}
    another best practice is to use the value of the optionset (using getValue) instead the label, because when you work with more languages (or if someone change the label) the script will still work.

    You are missing d while calling. it should be setRequired not setRequire. just call your method name.

    function Form_OnLoad() {
   setRequired();
}
