In this post, we'll see how we can perform aggregate function on data such as Sum or Count using PowerAutomate.

To Hide/Show such fields we need to use below script: var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.getAttribute("fieldName").controls.forEach( function (control, i) { control.setVisible(false/true); }); Similarly, to Enable/Disable such fields we need to use below script: formContext.getAttribute("fieldName").controls.forEach( function (control, i) { control.setDisabled(false/true); }); Without … Continue reading D365 CE: Show/Hide and Enable/Disable same field placed in multiple tabs using JavaScript
