ACL to restrict access on a particular choice /status value ?

[SAS21]

I have a requirement that if status is 'Completed' then only sysadmin can update status for such records

EG:  if Incident status is Completed, only System admin can edit the status but it should be restricted for Incident manager role only when status is completed.

Where as Incident manager role has access to all the fields on the form via *acl. 

I have tried this but its not working. 

Admin Overrides is checked 

Write operation

selected the required field 'Status'

if (current.u_status == 'Deleted') {
if ((gs.getUser().hasRole('x_critcinc_manager')) || (gs.getUser().hasRole('x_mim_manager'))) {
answer = false;
}
} else {
answer = true;
}

Please suggest. Is it possible to restrict the specific choice for a specific role ?

Appreciate the Help

@SAS21 

you can restrict field using field level WRITE ACL but not choice

to handle choice value you can use before update BR and stop the update by checking the role etc

Hello @SAS21 -
Well, I think you can achieve this using the client script as well. This is suitable when the requirement is to restrict the user on opening of the form. I would suggest not touching ACLs for such kind of requirements.

The client script would be something like this: (Type= onLoad)

if(g_form.getValue('status') == 'Completed'){
   if(!g_user.hasRole('admin')){
         g_form.setReadOnly('status', false); 
   }
}

If my answer helps, please mark it as correct.

Thanks,

Hi ,Thank you for replying.

Just One field with choices 

function onLoad() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    var status = g_form.getValue('u_inc_status');

if((status == 'Completed' && (!g_user.hasRole('admin'))))

    {

        g_form.setReadOnly("u_inc_status", true);

    }

}

This is working only after clicking on Save. my requirement is  Status field should become readonly whenever the choice is selected as Completed. Am i missing something?

@SAS21 

your script is onLoad so it will work only once when form loads
