Dynamics 365 – Hide/Disable/Edit Business Process Flow Fields using JavaScript

 In Dynamics 365, Business Process Flow attributes are just like Form attributes. You can use most of the controls in the same way as you normally do for Form attributes. Let’s look at the most common ones together.

To get attributes Add “header_process” before schema name of field. Let’s say your attribute schema name is “cm_myattribute“.
