In Dynamics 365, JavaScript plays a crucial role in customizing forms and enhancing the user experience. One useful function in D365 form scripting is “setIsValid()”, which allows developers to control field validation dynamically.
In this blog post, we’ll explore a real-world business use case for “setIsValid()” and demonstrate how it can improve data integrity and user workflows.
Understanding setIsValid()
The “setIsValid()” function is used to manually set the validation state of a field in a D365 form. By default, fields are validated based on required rules, but sometimes, business logic requires conditional validation.
Syntax: formContext.getAttribute("fieldname").setIsValid(bool, message);
bool (Boolean): Set this to true if the field passes validation, or false if it fails.
message (String, optional): An error message displayed if validation fails.
