We thought this should be enough and it did feel initially, that we are through.<\/p>\n
But, later in testing phase, we came across an issue, the issue is as below.<\/p>\n
After creating a Quote, we used the Lookup Address button to get the addresses and it worked like a charm.<\/p>\n
The data is stored as below and the field on the fly-out is read-only. Now, we changed both the addresses using the Lookup Address button.<\/p>\n On save, the addresses, got saved, but the composite fields still showed old address. After few hours of scratching our head, we thought of changing our approach.<\/p>\n We came up with the plan of skipping setSubmitModeAlways function and using another approach.<\/p>\n Our new approach, made the fields read-only and it didn`t involve using the SetSubmitMode either.<\/p>\n We removed the onload SetSubmitModeAlways.<\/p>\n The last part of this approach was calling the setFieldReadOnly function on save as well.<\/p>\n setFieldReadOnly is a function wrote by us to disable address fields.<\/p>\n \/\/Function called onSave of the form<\/p>\n function onSave_Form() {<\/p>\n var functionName = “onSave_Form”;<\/p>\n try {<\/p>\n \/\/Enabled fields<\/p>\n setFieldReadOnly(false);<\/p>\n \/\/Call the Timeout function<\/p>\n setTimeout(function () {<\/p>\n \/\/Disabled fields<\/p>\n setFieldReadOnly(true);<\/p>\n }, 2000);<\/p>\n } catch (e) {<\/p>\n throwError(e, functionName);<\/p>\n }<\/p>\n }<\/p>\n You would be confused, why did we enabled the fields and then disabled them again.<\/p>\n We enabled all the address fields, because, by making a field editable it is saved without using the SetSubmitMode.<\/p>\n We disabled it after 2 seconds of save using SetTimeout function because we wanted the fields read-only and we didn`t want it to be read-only before save, otherwise it would have incurred the same issue that we tackled using the above approach.<\/p>\n Note:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n This issue seems to be fixed in CRM 2015 update 1, but this is very much there in CRM 2013 through CRM 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n Its just not this, before moving further, check out our new utility tool\u00a0User Adoption Tracker<\/a>.
