I need to disable a section if a value from other field is true, normally I would do:

function disableSection1(disabledStatus){

    Xrm.Page.getControl(section1field1).setDisabled(disabledStatus);

    Xrm.Page.getControl(section1field2).setDisabled(disabledStatus);

    Xrm.Page.getControl(section1field3).setDisabled(disabledStatus);

    Xrm.Page.getControl(section1field4).setDisabled(disabledStatus);

}

but i have to do this for many sections, so I am looking for a function like this:

function sectionSetDisabled(tabNumber, sectionNumber, disabledStatus){

    //some code..

}

Most answers I have seen you have use the use the sectionLable and do the following comparison:
controlIHave.getParent().getLabel()==name of the section

But after some trials I found I could use Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabNumber).sections.get(sectionNumber).controls.get() to get the controls inside the section. That allowed me to use the following function:

function sectionSetDisabled(tabNumber, sectionNumber, disablestatus) {

    var section = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabNumber).sections.get(sectionNumber);

    var controls = section.controls.get();

    var controlsLenght = controls.length;



    for (var i = 0; i < controlsLenght; i++) {

        controls[i].setDisabled(disablestatus)

    }

}

by using controls[i].getAttribute() you can then get the attributes of a section.

I ended up creating a object that allows me to disable and clear all the fields in a section:

function sectionObject(tabNumber, sectionNumber) {

    var section = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabNumber).sections.get(sectionNumber);



    this.setDisabled = function (disablestatus) {

        var controls = section.controls.get();

        var controlsLenght = controls.length;

        for (var i = 0; i < controlsLenght; i++) {

            controls[i].setDisabled(disablestatus)

        }

    };



    this.clearFields = function () {

        var controls = section.controls.get();

        var controlsLenght = controls.length;

        for (var i = 0; i < controlsLenght; i++) {

            controls[i].getAttribute().setValue(null);

        }

    };



}



var section=new sectionObject(0,1);

section.setDisabled(true/false);
