In one of my requirement, I have to enable/disable “Assign” button on “Account” form based on one of my option set value (i.e.,accountcategorycode)

Assign Button On Account Form

I followed below steps to achieve the requirement

• Get the Account “Assign” ribbon button details from “sdk\resources\exportedribbonxml\ accountribbon.xml” file from the SDK
  • Open a note pad and copy below two nodes for reference
  • Copy <Button Id=”Mscrm.Form.account.Assign”> tag
  • Copy <CommandDefinition Id=”Mscrm.AssignPrimaryRecord”> tag
• Create a new jscript webresoure “new_Account_Ribbon” with function “enableAssignButton” and publish
  • If the function returns true the “Assign” button gets enabled else disabled
  • Define your own custom logic (Refer my custom logic below)

function enableAssignButton() {

try {

var fldCategory = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(“accountcategorycode”);

if (fldCategory && fldCategory.getValue()) {

if (fldCategory.getValue() == 100000007) {

return true;

}

}

return false;

} catch (e) {

alert(“Error while enabling Assign button: ” + e.description);

}

}

• Create a new solution and include “Account” entity and export as Unmanaged solution
• Extract the zip folder and open “customizations.xml” using visual studio
• Navigate to <RibbonDiffXml> node
• Replace with below node (Refer comments to understand)
