In CRM 4.0, I was very used to having to do the unsupported step of disabling fields one at a time. In CRM 2011, you can now disable the whole form at one time, which makes life much easier in case you remove fields and don’t update the form. (Not that I ever did that…)

After doing some Bing searches, I cam across this article on the Microsoft Social site. With some minor modifications, here it is to make your life easier.

The scenario here is you have a Status Reason of On Hold in Opportunities. You don’t want users having the ability to edit On Hold Opportunities. So with this script and the Out of the Box Opportunity Entity, you can make that happen.

The cool thing is that will also NOT disable the Status Reason Field so you can undo the change!

Enjoy!

function DisableFieldOnHold()
{
   if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("statuscode").getValue() == "2") 
   {
    disableFields();
    }
        function disableFields ()
        {
         var attributes = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();
         for (var i in attributes)
         {
         Xrm.Page.getControl(attributes[i].getName()).setDisabled(true);
         Xrm.Page.getControl("statuscode").setDisabled(false);
         }
        }
  if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("statuscode").getValue() != "2")
  {
  enableFields ()
  }
        function enableFields ()
        {
         var attributes = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();
         for (var i in attributes)
         {
         Xrm.Page.getControl(attributes[i].getName()).setDisabled(false);
         }
        }
  }
