Give Error or Warning notification at field level-Phone number Email format-Use setNotification – How to Register JavaScript on OnSave Event of Form in Microsoft Dynamics CRM/CE MSCRM

In Dynamics 365, We can use the JavaScript method setNotification to give errors at the field level. These new methods are very useful in that developers can easily give errors at field level i.e clearly showing on which field error occurred rather than showing all errors at the top of the CRM Forms

• We have a requirement to give an error on field Level i.e. phone field on the account entity, if the length of the phone number is greater than 10.
• On Save of account entity, JavaScript will execute and check the phone number length and give an error if the length is greater than 10.
• JavaScript (Event Handler) will be added to the Account entity and On Save Event. So, the JavaScript function will trigger on the Save of account.

• Below is the latest syntax available for set Notification at field level in Dynamics 365 Online using JavaScript.

 formContext.getControl(arg).setNotification(message,uniqueId);
Example:
formContext.getControl("telephone1").setNotification("Phone nuber cannot be greater than 10","errorphonelength");

Set Notification

• Below is the latest syntax available for clear Notification at field level if required in Dynamics 365 Online using JavaScript.

formContext.getControl(arg).clearNotification(uniqueId);
Example:
formContext.getControl("telephone1").clearNotification("errorphonelength");

Clear Notification

Below is the JavaScript function “phoneLengthErrorOnSaveOfAccount”

• 1st create form context from execution context passed as 1st parameter
• Get the phone field value, if field is not null
• Get the length of phone field value.
• Give error notification if phone field value is greater than 10

function phoneLengthErrorOnSaveOfAccount(executionContext)
{
    debugger;
    var formContext=executionContext.getFormContext();
    var phoneValue=formContext.getAttribute("telephone1").getValue;
    if(phoneValue!=null)
    {
        var phonValLength=phoneValue.length;
        if(phonValLength>10)
        {
            formContext.getControl("telephone1").setNotification("Phone nuber cannot be greater than 10","errorphonelength");

        }
        
    }
}
