Field should be editable for change manager only

[anilkumarsharma]

HI Team,

Requirement : I have created one filed Implemneted without approval     on change form . this Fied Should be editable only for change manager when change status is Complete.

Point-1: I have made the filed read only from dictionary

Point 2 : I have written the UI policy which is mention bellow but it is not working

Condition:   Status   is Completed

Execute if True :

function onCondition() {

if (g_user.hasRole('change_manager'))  

          {  

          g_form.setReadonly('u_implemneted_without_approval',false);  

    }  

}  

Execute if False:

function onCondition() {

g_form.setReadonly('u_implemneted_without_approval',true);  

}

Pls. help

I would remove the readonly on the dictionary entry and use a write ACL for role control and UI policy for the conditional state control.

Hi Anil, be aware that making a field read only on dictionary is almost like doing the variable a constant the one cannot be changed. In other words, you will not be able to set it to editable while it's a read only field on dictionary.

I hope this is helpful!

Thanks,

as for the recommended methods to do what you want to accomplish, these are:

a) ACL: Create a write ACL using your table.field on which status is completed and on the role related list you set the Change Manager role. Simple as that !

b) Through client script. doing something similar to what you show above, perhaps on an OnChange of the status field.

Thanks,

Berny
