Cause

This problem occurs because a customization on the OnLoad or OnSave events tries to update an attribute property.

Example:

The following Javascript code is used to update the Quote Name attribute on the OnLoad Event:

crmForm.all.name.DataValue = “Example”;
crmForm.all.name.Disabled = true;
crmForm.all.name.ForceSubmit = true;

↑ Back to the top

Resolution

To resolve this problem, change the OnLoad or OnSave events to prevent the update action from being run on a disabled form. 

if (crmForm.FormType != 4)
{
crmForm.all.name.DataValue = “Example”;
crmForm.all.name.Disabled = true;
crmForm.all.name.ForceSubmit = true;
 }
