I would like to prevent users' right-click on table forms, but is there any way? I think it depends on web browser, though.
Best Regards,
Aki

you can't disable Right Click on Form/Record.
You can use UI script and DOM manipulation may be to hide some of the options when user right clicks but that's not recommended.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,
I created the following onLoad Client Script for Incident table with "Isolate script" = "false" and it successfully blocked the browser's right-click on the Incident form.
However, it didn't work when I created the script for custom table in the custom app. Does anyone know why it doesn't work?
function onLoad() {
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());
}

you should allow DOM in your scope by creating this system property
example: sn_customerservice.glide.script.block.client.globals would be the property name used for Customer Service application
Create similar for your scope an set it with false

yes the above script disables right click on form but users can still inspect the page using developer tools (shortcut from chrome or other browsers)
