Dynamics CRM 4.0 - Restricted Bulk Edit of Attributes

Hi,


I was trying to bulk edit a number of attributes today on the contact form but for some reason, MS Dynamics CRM 4.0 would not let me. After some research I discovered that you cannot perform bulk edits of a field that has an active OnChange event.


To get around this, simply disable the event (un-tick the box), save and publish, make your changes and the re-enable the event


Handy!

Dynamics CRM 4.0 - Display field dependant on Picklist values

Hi,

In the below example, i had a list of 5 values stored in a field as a picklist. When values 1 and 2 were chosen i wanted to hide the field, and display it when values 3,4 and 5 are selected. If you only have a single value to hide the field, then simple remove the "if else" part of the code below...


if(crmForm.all.cit_phonestatus.DataValue == 1)
{
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret.disabled = true; // to disable

    // to hide
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret.style.display = "none";
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret_c.style.display = "none"; // for label
}
else if(crmForm.all.cit_phonestatus.DataValue == 2)
{
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret.disabled = true; // to disable

    // to hide
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret.style.display = "none";
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret_c.style.display = "none"; // for label
}

else {

crmForm.all.cit_dateret.disabled = false;
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret.style.display = "";
    crmForm.all.cit_dateret_c.style.display = "";
}

Dynamics CRM 4.0 - Open a new browser window and go to address

var load = window.open('http://www.domain.com','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
}

Dynamics CRM 4.0 - Force a Save Event in JavaScript

The below is JavaScript for forcing a Save event on forms with Dynamics CRM 4.0. I used this when I had an onChange event that required me to save before other onChange events would work correctly. I inserted this as the last line of my function and it works a treat! (For full instructions please go to http://blog.xrmconsultant.com)

crmform.save();

Simplest ones are the best!
