Dynamically hide attributes in the configuration

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Problem : I need to display or hide an attribute depending on some logic. The attribute is present in the configuration.

We have CRM 7.0 system with enhancement pack installed. The catch here is that I must not use "DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION" method. Doing that requires 64 sub-object types to be maintained in the configuration.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Try this:

In the html page of your form view, add the following code at the beginning of the page right after all those <%@extension> tags

<%
 data: lv_xml    type string.

 lv_xml    = controller->CONFIGURATION_DESCR->GET_CONFIG_DATA( ).

replace all occurrences of '//SOLDTO/STRUCT.PARTNER' in lv_xml with ''.

%>

The "//SOLDTO/STRUCT.PARTNER" will be the technical name of your field.

Then find the following tag in the html page.

<chtmlb:config
/>

Add the parameters in the tag if it is not there

xml     = "<%= lv_xml %>"

The final will looks like this

<chtmlb:config xml     = "<%= lv_xml %>"
               mode    = "RUNTIME"  />

The field should disappear.

Hi Vignesh,

Is your view sitting in a view set?

If it does, what I have done is to create a copy of the view with a separate configuration that I wanted. Then in the Viewset controller, DO_REPLACE_INITIAL_VIEW method, I replace the entire view.

It worked for me very well because and worth the effort as the configuration of both screen is very different. If you are talking about doing it for very minimal difference, this could be overkill but it is one way of doing it.

Hope this helps.

Hi Peng,

Thanks for the reply. My view is in an overview page.

Copy configuration is not an ideal option for me because there are close to 40 different configurations.

Thanks for the reply once again.
