CRM form edit using Java Script - javascript

I am trying to modify a CRM form for an entity called "property".
I want to basically write an IF ELSE statement to do enable/disable a field on the form when the "new property" tab is clicked by the end user on the CRM interface.
I already have written the javascript code but I am not sure of the syntax to create a new property (a new record within the entity)?
I also tried to ID a new property record by the fact the a new property record will have the name field blank.
Please see a sample of the code below:
if(crmForm.all.new_name == null)
{
//Enable field
crmForm.all.new_interestrate.Disabled = false;
}
else
{
//Enable field
crmForm.all.new_interestrate.Disabled = true;
}
I have set this script on the OnLoad section of the form but it is not running. I postulated that this might be because I am clicking create a new property rather than loading an already existing property?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

To anyone reading this, I solved my issue, the flaw was that the field wasn't actually null. I basically rectified this problem using the initial statement
var value = crmForm.all.new_name.datavalue
if (value < 1)
{"do something";}
This worked for my case as no name value was less than 1.

Need help debugging CRM Web Resoruce code -- getting error message "Web Resource Method Does Not Exist"

I am trying to make the Manufacturer field on a CRM Opportunity form become required when a user opens the form. (I cannot simply use a business rule to do this because the Manufacturer field will then become required in QuoteWerks as well, which is where many of our Opportunity records are created.)
I have created a javascript web resource and added to the OnLoad section of the form, but receive the following error when I open the form:
Web Resource Method Does Not Exist: Set Manufacturer To Required.
Below is my code:
function SetManufacturerToRequired() {
var value = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_opportunityscope");
if (value != null) {
if (value == "Product") {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").setRequiredLevel("required");
} else {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").setRequiredLevel("none");
}
}
else {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").setRequiredLevel("none");
}
}
Any help debugging this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
For your First Issue,
From My Initial thought, do you have function name SetManufacturerToRequired added correctly when you add it OnLoad Error says that you have attached to onLoad Event but in Webresource it could not find. You probably have added Function name in CRM OnLoad as Set Manufacturer To Required
However, the field is still not being required when the Opportunity Scope is set to "Product".
Try below code, in your original code you are only taking attribute but not it's value
function SetManufacturerToRequired() {
var value = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_opportunityscope");
if (value != null) {
//value.getValue() this will give you value as 777601 or something
if (value.getText()== "Product") {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").setRequiredLevel("required");
} else {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").setRequiredLevel("none");
}
}
else {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_manufacturer").setRequiredLevel("none");
}
}
Xrm.Page is being deprecated, replace with executionContext.getFormContext()

Debugging script Netsuite suitescript in Chrome exception

So I am trying to add a button to the Sales Order form in netsuite that validates certain fields based on what you entered in previous fields. I am having trouble testing and debugging this in google chrome in netsuite. First, here is my code: I am adding the button that calls this function within the client script record.
function vsoeValidate(){
var calc = nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_calculation');
calc = nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_renewal_rev_amount') - (nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_cola') * nlapiGetFieldValue(1-'custbody_cv_vsoe_partner_disc')) - (nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_bts_fees') * (1-nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_partner_disc'))) /
(nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_software_amt') * (1- nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_multiyear_disc')));
nlapiSetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_calculation', calc);
var display = nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_calculation_disp');
var bucket = nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_bucket');
if(bucket === 'X'){
return false;
}
if(calc > (nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_cv_vsoe_bucket.custrecord_cv_vsoe_maintenance_rate') *1.15) || calc < ('custbody_cv_vsoe_bucket.custrecord_cv_vsoe_maintenance_rate'*0.85)){
display = '<div style="; background-color:red; color:white;font-weight:bold;text-align:center">Out of bounds</div>';
return true;
}
else{
display = '<div style="; background-color:green; color:white;font-weight:bold;text-align:center">In bounds</div>';
return true;
}
}
when I click the button I get the error TypeError undefined is not a function.
I am really not sure where to go from here, is it because the logic inside vsoeValidate is not right or am I using the wrong type of function? Any help would be great thank you!
Update: here is the screenshot of my script record!
Try passing the function name as string i.e.
form.addButton('custpage_validatevsoe', 'Validate VSOE', 'vsoeValidate');
You mentioned that you set vsoeValidate as a validateField function. Do you want this function to run when users click the button or when NetSuite's valdiateField event is fired (upon field change, before the value is stored)?
If you want this to run on NetSuite's validateField event, then the function must return true or false; it cannot return void. Right now in your logic, you have:
if (bucket = 'x') {
return;
}
if (bucket = 'x') is an assignment operation, not an equality check. This assignment operation will return 'x', which is a truthy value, so your code will enter that if-block. You then return void (undefined), so my guess is that NetSuite is trying to do something with the result returned by your function but cannot because it returned undefined.
The validateField function also gets passed a parameter that provides the ID of the field being validated.
You will also want to inject some console logging at various points so you can figure out where your script is failing instead of just trying to guess at reading syntax.
Can you provide us with a screenshot of your Script record setup?
Also since you are using a client side script, you don't need to use the pageInit event for adding a custom button.
There is a 'Buttons' subtab, under the 'Scripts' tab when you create the Script record in NetSuite. This subtab is next to the 'Libraries' subtab.
There are two columns here, 'Label' and 'Function'.
So in your case, you can just put 'Validate VSOE' in the Label field and vsoeValidate in the Function field.
Please note that if you do it this way, the button will only be shown when you are creating or editing a record.

Task "Regarding" field not populating from subgrid in CRM 2013

I am using CRM 2013 on-premise with UR1 installed
I have a custom entity with a subgrid on it looking at related "tasks" which looks like this:
Whenever I create a task from the subgrid using the "+" button in the top right hand corner of the subgrid; the "Regarding" field of the newly created task remains blank. When it should be populated by a lookup to the record it was created from.
I have javascript on the task entity which checks the "Regarding" field to check what kind of entity it was created from (if it was created from one) and gets certain field values from the calling entity to populate fields on the task.
Since the "Regarding" field is never filled the Javascript never fires - and the fields do not populate.
When the record is saved, if the regarding field is blank (I have not manually filled it in) - it will eventually be populated by the correct record about 10 - 15 seconds later if you refresh the page. Then the correct fields will be populated and the user is able to edit the option set values and save again. This is not ideal for the user as they would like it to be one fluid action.
Is there any way around this problem?
EDIT for future browsers of this question:
Found a partial work around. If you use an "Activity" subgrid rather than a "Task" subgrid the field will populate. This has a drawback though as you cannot edit the "Activity" subgrid's view to show "Task" specific fields.
Ran into this same issue. The way I got around it was to add a look-up to the custom entity on the form (we put this on a hidden tab). When the Task gets created from the custom entity the look-up will be populated. You can then use that look-up to grab the values that you need to populate, including the regarding field. Not the most elegant, but it works.
I also ran into this problem and went with a pure JS approach to resolving. On load of the task form, call populateRegarding().
This works because even though the regarding lookup doesn't populate by default, the query string parameters include _CreateFromType and _CreateFromId values.
This works in 2015, didn't test on earlier versions. Note that it is unsupported.
function populateRegarding() {
var regarding = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("regardingobjectid"),
createFromType = Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters()._CreateFromType,
createFromId = Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters()._CreateFromId;
if (!createFromId || !createFromType ||
!regarding || regarding.getValue() !== null) {
return;
}
var entityLogicalName = getEntityLogicalNameFromObjectTypeCode(createFromType);
regarding.setValue([{
id: createFromId,
entityType: entityLogicalName,
name: "Hardcoded Name" // TODO: retrieve name dynamically
}]);
}
// This method uses an undocumented object and is therefore unsupported.
// You could implement a supported version of this function by querying for
// metadata, but that would be very expensive.
function getEntityLogicalNameFromObjectTypeCode(otc) {
var map = Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap,
logicalName;
otc = Number(otc); // convert string to number
for (logicalName in map) {
if (!map.hasOwnProperty(logicalName)) { continue; }
if (map[logicalName] === otc) {
return logicalName;
}
}
}

Force a SaveForm in Dynamics CRM 2011 using JavaScript

In CRM 2011, I want to be able to force a save of a form. My requirement is as below.
When the user opens the form, I check if a particular field is empty or not.
If it is empty, I want to force a save, thereby triggering a plugin which will set the field.
My current code is as below. This is in the FormOnLoad function which is associated with LoadForm.
if(checkfield == null){
Namespace.Functions.Contact.FormOnSave();
}
else{
// do nothing.
}
Now, this fails with the following line
Can't execute code from a freed script.
I have no clue as to how to proceed further. As a temporary fix, what I have done is the following
if(checkfield == null){
setTimeout('Namespace.Functions.Contact.FormOnSave()',4000);
}
else{
// do nothing.
}
Any advice on why this is happening and how can I fix it without the timeout would be really helpful?
I have had a look at this question and this, but in my case the form does get loaded or has it actually not yet loaded?
Either way, how can I force a save of a CRM form?
You can save the Form by using:
parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();
But It will only trigger if
(Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty() == true)
However there is a workaround to set IsDirty property true.
Run the Javascript function on PageLoad. Try to update the value of the field which you are planning to populate through plugin:
For e.g.
function OnPageLoad()
{
var yourField = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_yourfield").getValue();
if(yourField == null)
{
parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_yourfield").setValue("any value");
parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_yourfield").setSubmitMode("always");
parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();
}
}
You could skip all of this mumble jumbo with loading your form twice with Javascript by creating a plugin registered on the read or the entity. (Or better yet and if possible, on the Create of the entity)
The Plugin would just check for the field, and if it's empty, perform whatever logic you need it to to update the field, then save it, and return the updated field (or possibly just populate the value and don't update the database until the user performs the save)

Assigning value of field from JavaScript in Oracle Apex

I am trying to implement JavaScript in header of page of Oracle APEX application.
Fields in the form by default are going to be disabled if customer data exists but it can be trigger to edit mode by clicking on button 'Unlock'. By clicking button EnableItems() is run, but form is not resubmitted it is just js function that run.
function DisableItems()
{
$x_disableItem('P31_TITLE',true);
}
function EnableItems()
{
$x_disableItem('P31_TITLE',false);
}
If form is empty then all fields should be available to edit.
In Javascript >> Execute when Page Loads
I have
PageStart();
Now I need third piece of code so page would know if I want to load Enable or Disable mode. To do that I have
function PageStart(){
if ($x('P31_TEST2').value == "") {
EnableItems();
}
else {
DisableItems();
}
}
The difficulty is in second line of this code where I need to put some flag to assign value to a field or gather value from Apex field which would trigger either first or second function however I am not quite sure what would be the best practice to go around it. Any thoughts highly appreciated.
P31_START_ENABLED: hidden item, value protected = No. Provide the starting value.
For example, here the value is either 'Y' or 'N' to indicate enabled Y/N
function PageStart(){
if($v("P31_START_ENABLED")=='Y') {
EnableItems();
} else {
DisableItems();
};
};
function DisableItems()
{
$s("P31_START_ENABLED", 'N');
$x_disableItem('P31_TITLE',true);
};
function EnableItems()
{
$s("P31_START_ENABLED", 'Y');
$x_disableItem('P31_TITLE',false);
};
