Hi Michele,

If you're trying to use a Create Script, try the below.

var myFieldValue = CRM.GetContextInfo("table","field");
if(!myFieldValue){
ReadOnly = false;
}
else(myFieldValue){
ReadOnly = true;
}

That way may be a bit more reliable. And I want to say "this.value" works only in the OnChange script as it's handled on the client side whereas the Create Script and Validation Scripts are both server side. Give it a shot and see if it works.

Thanks Basil! I forgot to mention that this is a field on a custom entity. If I remember correctly, GetContextInfo does not work for a custom entity. I will give it a try and let you know.

Thanks again!

Basil. I double checked on GetContextInfo for a custom entity and it is not available for a custom entity. However, using the same thought process, I have used Find Record which I think you can use on a custom entity. Therefore, I now have the following code in the Change Script area of my field. However, it does not work correctly. The field comes up read only whether or not there is a value in the field. Can you see what I might be done wrong with this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

var DDID = Values("due_diligenceid");

var DDRecord = CRM.FindRecord("DueDiligence", "due_diligenceid="+DDID);

var DDReceived = DDRecord.due_datereceived;

if (due_datereceived != null || due_datereceived != "" || due_datereceived != 'undefined' )

{

ReadOnly = true;

}

else

{

ReadOnly = false;

}

Thanks!

Michele

The general way this test works is like this:

This is code entered in the Create Script.

Valid = false;

if (!Values("proj_name"))

{

ErrorStr = "Field is null"

}

else

{

ErrorStr = Values("proj_name");

ReadOnly = true;

}
