MS CRM 4.0 Jscript Field Types

To access the properties and methods of the field objects within the crmForm, use the schema name of the entity attribute. For example, to access the Topic field in a Lead form, use the syntax crmForm.all.subject.

The following table shows the Properties that are available for all fields:

General Field Properties

Type

Values

{field}.DataValue

Varies for each field type

Get/Set Property


 

Valid for all field types. Note that setting value in a script does not raise the OnChange event. You can use the FireOnChange field method to perform this function.

{Field}.Disabled

Boolean

Get/Set Property


 

The field is displayed as read-only to the user. However it can be updated by a script. This field is submitted to the server when it is modified.

Example

var oField = crmForm.all.SOME_FIELD_ID;

// Toggle the disbled state of the field

oField.Disabled = !oField.Disabled;

{Field}.RequiredLevel

 

Get property.

Determines the level of requirement for the field. Valid values are as follows:

0 = No constraint (normal)

1 = Business recommended

2 = Business required

Example

var CRM_REQUIRED_LEVEL_NORMAL = 0;

var CRM_REQUIRED_LEVEL_RECOMMENDED = 1;

var CRM_REQUIRED_LEVEL_REQUIRED = 2;

var oField = crmForm.all.SOME_FIELD_ID;


 

switch (oField.RequiredLevel)

{

case CRM_REQUIRED_LEVEL_NORMAL:

alert("This field is not required or recommended");

break;


 

case CRM_REQUIRED_LEVEL_RECOMMENDED:

alert("This field is business recommended");

break;


 

case CRM_REQUIRED_LEVEL_REQUIRED:

alert("This field is required");

break;

}

{Field}.IsDirty

Boolean

Get property.

True if the field's value has changed.

Example

var oField = crmForm.all.SOME_FIELD_ID;


 

if (oField.IsDirty)

{

alert("The field's value has changed.");

}

else

{

alert("The field's value has not changed.");

}

{Field}.ForceSubmit

Boolean

Get/set property.

Determines whether the value will be submitted to the server on save. All enabled fields will be submitted after they have been modified either through script or by user input.


 

Set this property to True for disabled or read-only fields and for fields that have not been modified if you want to submit them.


 

The following methods are available on all fields

General Field Method

The main issue with const is that it's evaluated at compile-time, which means if it's changed at a later date; you have to not only recompile that application, but all applications that reference that application. In contrast, read -only is evaluated at run-time providing you a lot more flexibility. An overview of differences between const and read-only in c#      Const Read only Cont be static Can be either instance-level or static Value is evaluated at compile time The value is evaluated at run time.
