CHANGE CONTROL LABEL DURING RUNTIME IN DYNAMICS 365 USING JAVASCRIPT

In Dynamics 365, we might have to change CRM control label at runtime for specific needs.

This can be easily done through JavaScript code by calling the function setLabel() that sets the label of the control.

One function, several ways you can use to change the label based on the control type.
  1. Dynamically change a tab label
    Using the function setLabel, you can change a tab label during runtime as per the below code snippet.

    var runtimeTabLabel = "Runtime Tab Label";
    formContext.ui.tabs.get("<tabName>").setLabel(runtimeTabLabel);

  2. Dynamically change section label
    Using the function setLabel, you can change a section label during runtime as per the below code snippet.

    var runtimeSectionLabel = "Runtime Section Label";
    formContext.ui.tabs.get("<tabName>").sections.get("<sectionName>").setLabel(runtimeSectionLabel);

  3. Dynamically change field label
    Using the function setLabel, you can change a field label during runtime as per the below code snippet.

    var runtimeFieldLabel = "Runtime Field Label";
    formContext.getControl("<fieldName>").setLabel(runtimeFieldLabel);

  4. Dynamically change subgrid label
    Using the function setLabel, you can change a subgrid label during runtime as per the below code snippet.

    var runtimeSubgridLabel = "Runtime Subgrid Label";
    formContext.getControl("<subgridName>").setLabel(runtimeSubgridLabel);

    Change Control label

  5. On the other hand, you can use the function getLabel() to return the label for the control


Hope This Helps!

DYNAMICS 365 HOW TO HIDE RECENT RECORDS FOR LOOKUP FIELD IN UCI

Image
In UCI, a lot of behaviors have been changed comparing to the Classic Web Interface such as the tabs, BPF, and many others. Today, I will be talking about one of these behaviors which is the Recent Records in lookup fields. In a brief summary, the Recent Records feature will suggest the latest records that have been searched for, where the user can select one of them, and, the list of available records of the current view will then be displayed. This is a nice-to-have feature since it might help the users to speed up data entry. However, if the lookup has been filtered to display specific records, the Recent Records will not respect this filter and will keep showing records even is they should not. This scenario can lead to selecting a record by the user that is not allowed to be selected. Therefore, in this situation, it is better to hide the Recent Records t

SEARCH BY GUID IN DYNAMICS 365

Is it possible to search for a CRM record using its GUID ? Well, NO it is not possible and YES it is possible!!! As always has been, it is not possible to search for a record by its guid in Advanced Find and in the Quick view search. However, in the model-driven app Edit filters functionality, it is possible to search for a record by its Guid. How it works, let's check the 3 different places where we can search for a records. Advanced Find search Using the Advanced find feature, you cannot put a GUID value to search for. You will directly receive an error notification eventhough when you download the fetchXml, the Guid of the record will be there. Quick view search Using the search box

SAVE FORM IN DYNAMICS 365 JAVASCRIPT

Image
In Dynamics 365, you may need to save a CRM form automatically in JavaScript upon a specific action on the form. In order to do that, the function formContext.data.save(saveOptions).then(successCallback, errorCallback); can be used to save the record asynchronously with callback functions to be executed after the save operation is completed. The following example will display a successful message if the save operation is completed, and a failure message if not. formContext.data.save(1).then( function () { alert("Successfully Saved!"); }, function () { alert("Failed while saving!"); });
