[D365] Client Script - Updating Label of Field

This will guide how to change label of field defending on certain field value.

 

[Task]

* The target country was changed from UK to US because sample data is based on US

* Label name changed as "ZIPP/.." to distingush label from the default label value

 

[Tips]

- Field control in collection fields can be only effective when calling it with "_composite_compositionLinkControl_"

ex) Collection: address1_composite

Control link: _compositionLinkControl_

Field(logical name): address1_postalcode

--> address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode

 

- To change the label, use

formContext.getControl("name of control").setLabel("new name")

 

[Code]

this.formOnLoad = function(executeContext)
{
    var formContext = executeContext.getFormContext();
    formContext.ui.setFormNotification("Test version 2", "INFO", "UniqueID20240109-J")


    if(formContext.getAttribute("address1_country").getValue() == null)
    {
        // country? null --> ZIPP/Postal Code
        formContext.getControl("address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode").setLabel("ZIPP/Postal Code")

    }
    else if(formContext.getAttribute("address1_country").getValue() == "U.S.")
    {
        // country? US --> Zip Code
        formContext.getControl("address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode").setLabel("Zip Code")
    }
    else
    {
        // country? NOT US --> Postal Code
        formContext.getControl("address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode").setLabel("Postal Code")
    }

}

this.formOnChange = function(executeContext)
{
    var formContext = executeContext.getFormContext();
    formContext.ui.setFormNotification("Test version 2", "INFO", "UniqueID20240109-J")


    if(formContext.getAttribute("address1_country").getValue() == null)
    {
        // country? null --> ZIPP/Postal Code
        formContext.getControl("address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode").setLabel("ZIPP/Postal Code")

    }
    else if(formContext.getAttribute("address1_country").getValue() == "U.S.")
    {
        // country? US --> Zip Code
        formContext.getControl("address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode").setLabel("Zip Code")
    }
    else
    {
        // country? NOT US --> Postal Code
        formContext.getControl("address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode").setLabel("Postal Code")
    }

}
