Hi,
Is it possible to change the background color of ServiceNow read-only fields in incident form from grey to another color?
Thanks

Hi @Community Alums ,
There is no out of the box settings to change the default readonly background color however you can apply background colours for fields in general using g_form.getElement()
Thank you,

Hi @Hemanth M1
Thank you for your reply
I tried this and it only worked for non read-only fields☹️

Hi @Community Alums ,
why don’t you set the field read only after you change colour in the same script. (Remove existing read only logic)
Thank you,
