    Hi

    I'm looking for a good guide that will start me down the track of hiding fields on forms and then having them fire based on the picklist value of another field.

    I am a novice at this so 'idiots guides' are applicable.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Dave,

    Do you want to execute it on client side?

    If yest then through javascript make the visiblity as false by getting an element through document.getelementbyid().

    you can write simple JS script onchange of your picklist as below, remember you also have write this code on form onload

    like for example you want to hide another field name "newField" when anybody will select first option from picklist so here will be the code for that

    if(crmForm.all.<PicklistFieldName>.DataValue=="1")

    {

    crmForm.all.newField_c.style.display='none';

    crmForm.all.newField_d.style.display='none';

    }

    Let us know if you need any other information

    If initially you want to hide the field & then based on picklist value want to make them visible then :

    OnLoad event of Form :

    crmForm.all.FieldName_c.style.display="hidden";

    crmForm.all.FieldName_d.style.display="hidden";

    & to make it visible again add follwing code in OnChange of picklist attribute :

    crmForm.all.FieldName_c.style.display="visible";

    crmForm.all.FieldName_d.style.display="visible";

     

    Thank You.

    Hi Jayshir

    What does the _c & _d do? Is one the field and one the field name?

    Appreciate your help.

    In forms, crm attributes don't have property that allows hiding them...

    So the only way to hide a field is to find the label '_c', the control '_d' and hide them

    Hi Jayshir

    Dave


    "crmForm.all.fieldName_c " refers to field label on the form & "crmform.all.fieldName_d" refers to the actual control for field/attribute on the form.

    Thank you.

    Right, thanks for all the advice.

    I've added the following code:

    if(crmForm.all.sec1_loggingsolution.DataValue == 7)
    {
             crmForm.all.sec-1_loggingother_c.style.display = 'inline';
             crmForm.all.sec-1_loggingother_d.style.display = 'inline';
    }
    else
    {
             crmForm.all.sec-1_loggingother_c.style.display = 'none';
             crmForm.all.sec-1_loggingother_d.style.display = 'none';
    }

    This seems to work fine based on the pick list trigger however the sec1_loggingother field only appears "on save", is this right or can it be instant?

    "OnLoad" if crmFormType="UPDATE" then also you can check for picklist datavalue & then hide/show "sec1_loggingother " field accordingly. In case of new record i.e. OnLoad if crmFormType="CREATE" then sec1_loggingsolution.DataValue  might be null & "sec1_loggingother" will not appear on form (because as per your code it will satisfy ELSE part)  .

    Thank you.
