Anyone let me know what's wrong with the code

function TestContract(executionContext)
{
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cra4a_contractorsname", "cra4a_country1", "cra4a_agreedproject", "cra4a_groundsitedate". "cra4a_projectstartdate", "cra4a_projecthandoverdate", "cra4a_totaltimetaken", "cra4a_timelinegap", "cra4a_reasonfordelay").setRequiredLevel("required");
}

Hi @sourav456

The code is not correct
You must be as follows

function blockfield(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.getAttribute("field1").setRequiredLevel("required"); formContext.getAttribute("field2").setRequiredLevel("required") }

Hi @sourav456 ,

You can use array method to execute repeated steps faster

function TestContract(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var fields = ["cra4a_contractorsname", "cra4a_country1", "cra4a_agreedproject", "cra4a_groundsitedate", "cra4a_projectstartdate", "cra4a_projecthandoverdate", "cra4a_totaltimetaken", "cra4a_timelinegap", "cra4a_reasonfordelay"]; fields.forEach(fieldName => { if(formContext.getAttribute(fieldName)) { formContext.getAttribute(fieldName).setRequiredLevel("required"); } else { console.log("Field does not exist or not on form") } }); }

Hope this helps

As stated in other comments, Xrm.Page.getAttribute() takes a single string parameter of a field name. Would be nice to have a .getAttributes() function that did multiple but it’s not supported yet.

Consider also using ‘business rules’ to make field required or not. It’s the no-code way of doing the same thing and reduces your JavaScript footprint for less/easier maintenance in the future.
