Show or hide 'Add New' or '+' button on form sub-grid based on the value on the form

Hi,
 
Today I got a requirement to Hide/Show "+" button on the Sub grid based on some conditions.
 
I used Ribbon workbench for doing it. But, unfortunately it was not working. After some search came to know that I am trying to customize wrong button. Actually, we should apply our commands on the highlighted button.
Here are the steps to be followed for hiding and showing the button.
 
Create a Webresource and write you condition in it. Make sure it returns True/False.

function EnableNewButton() {
    return true;
}

Create a solution in CRM and add the required entity and webresource.
Open the same solution in Ribbon Workbench.
Right-Click on the button and click Customize Command.
Its shows all the existing Command rules like Display rules, Enable rules etc..
Right click on the new customized command and click Edit Enable Rules.
Click on Add New button and Select Custom JavaScript Rule.
Change the Id if you wish and Click on Add Step
Select Custom JavaScript Rule.
Select the WebResource and Javascript function name.
Click on Publish.

Done, now the button will be hidden/shown based on the Boolean value that is returning from the JavaScript function.

Hope this helps.

    I am getting the following exception while publishing this , could you please help me on this.

    Reasons:
    1:The "Show error message" and "Set value" actions can't be used in a business rule that doesn't have a condition.

  2. Hi Siva,

    I think, its is related to the business rule on the entity. Check the business rule on the entity and then try to publish.
