Dynamics CRM 2011 Save button on email form is disabled once 'Activity Status' field is added

  • Article

In Dynamics CRM 2011, after adding 'Activity Status' field on the Email Activity form, any email record with StateCode = 1 has the save buttons disabled.

For example, email with status as 'Sent', 'Pending Send' and 'Received'.

If the email is in draft, the problem doesn't occur.

This is a known design issue in Dynamics CRM 2011.

Workaround:

Create a custom field and populate this with the item's statecode:-

function substitute()

{

var sCode = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("statecode").getValue();

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_statefield").setValue(sCode);

}

Then remove the Activity Status field from Email form
