Disable an item in a Choice field using JavaScript in a Model driven app

Hi all,

Is it possible to either disable an item in a Choice field so that it cannot be selected? Alternatively, (and perhaps even better) dynamically edit the choices by adding/removing items based on a condition? See my comment in the 'for loop' below.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

function disablePTClassOfTravelChoice(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var caseTypeText = formContext.getAttribute("kcw_casetype").getText();

var choiceField = formContext.getControl("kcw_scopeptclassoftravel");

var options = choiceField.getOptions();

for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {

Test the value(label?) of the option and if it is the one we are looking for

then either disable it as a valid option or better yet remove it from the

list of options.

}

Hello,

Unfortunately, the OOB Optionset Dropdown doesn't allow you to disable items but you can dynamically add/remove items from the list. Check this post - https://www.crmcrate.com/javascript/how-to-add-remove-optionset-values-programmatically-in-dynamics-365-crm/

But now there is a better way of doing it. We can hide the optionvalue directly from the optionset/Choice editor in the make.powerapps.com. With this way the value will not show on the UI using configuration without writing Javascript.

Follow below steps
Step 1: Navigate to https://make.powerapp.com
Step 2: On the left navigation page click on Tables
Step 3: Search and open desired table by clicking on it. (For Example: Account)
Step 4: On the schema section click on "Columns"
Step 5: On the list of columns search desired column with Data Type = "Choice".(For Example : Industry)
Step 6: Now Edit the Column by clicking on the field name which opens a popup
Step 7: Navigate to Choice section and select the value (For Example: Accounting) which you want to hide by clicking on "Additional Properties".
Step 8: This would open a popup in that there is a checkbox called "Hidden". Enable that checkbox.
Step 9: Click on Save.
Step 10: Publish the table to reflect the changes.
Step 11: Navigate back to Application and check the value which we are hiding in the optionset field on the form it will not longer be visible.
