Introduction:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Is Form Scripting a dreadful task, given the uncertainty that no one knows when the necessary attribute(s) for our script will be taken down from the form or it\u2019ll be deleted completely?<\/p>\n

Well! With Dynamics 365 v9.0, we can avoid these situations in a finesse way.<\/p>\n

Apart from the ability to handle the dependent JavaScript as described here<\/a>, there is another feature which enables us to define the dependent attributes.<\/p>\n

Define Dependent Attributes in JavaScript:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By tagging a dependent attribute(s) to the JavaScript, we don\u2019t have to worry about the attribute being or not being on the form.<\/p>\n

\"Dependent<\/p>\n

How to add dependent attribute(s)?<\/p>\n

1<\/strong>. Open the JavaScript that needs to be tagged with Dependent Attribute(s).<\/p>\n

2<\/strong>. Select Dependencies tab.<\/p>\n

\"Dependent<\/p>\n

3<\/strong>. Go to the below table and add the Dependent Attribute(s).<\/p>\n

Lo! We can develop scripts without the dread of attribute(s) getting removed from the form and, hence, our logic going south.<\/p>\n
