How to make 14 Fields editable only when state is 'Monitor' & User is part of 'XYZ' group

[Obito]

Hi all,

I have to work on below requirement.

"How to make 14 Fields editable only when state is 'Monitor' & User is part of 'XYZ' group" 

But what should be my approach here. If I go with ACL I will have to write ACL for each field. OR Should I go with Client script to achieve the same. What is a best practice here?

Thanks.

Hello @Obito ,

Client script would be a good option in this case.

but you need to use GlideAjax in this case to check if user is part of group or not.

refer below thread for GlideAjax example.

Then simply you set the fields to editable.

If you want to set all the fields to editable

then refer below script

var fields = g_form.getEditableFields();
for (var x = 0; x < fields.length; x++) {
    g_form.setReadOnly(fields[x], false); // will make field to editable
}

You can script some fields by adding condition.

var fields = g_form.getEditableFields();
for (var x = 0; x < fields.length; x++) {
if(fields[i] ! = "<field_name>"){// will skip the fields which you add in if condition
    g_form.setReadOnly(fields[x], false); // will make field to editable
}
}

Thanks,

hi.

Using a UI policy is the suggested approach.

However, the condition part is not strong enough to achieve 'User is part of the XYZ group'.

You can have a try to put the condition in the [Execute if true] script."

try below:

if(g_user.hasRole('your_role')){

        if(g_form.getValue('state')==6){ //add value of field

        g_form.setReadOnly('field_name1',false);

g_form.setReadOnly('field_name2',false); //add like these for other fields

        }

    }
