How to make a mandatory field as READONLY after it is filled and saved

[Nisha30]

Hi ,

I have a UI policy in sc_task for 

conditions : state is one of closed complete/incomplete

UI Action: Time worked = mandatory

now once this is filled and saved it should be readonly . But if I up[date the same UI policy it is not allowing me to fill the field .

How can I make this read only once already filled in.

Thanks

add extra condition here and ensure UI policy doesn't run on form load

conditions : state is one of closed complete/incomplete AND Time Worked is empty

OR

use onchange client script on State field, UI Type - ALL

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading) {
        return;
    }

    // Check if the state is one of 'Closed Complete' or 'Closed Incomplete'
    var state = g_form.getValue('state');
    if (state == 'Closed Complete' || state == 'Closed Incomplete') {
        g_form.setMandatory('time_worked', true);

        // Check if 'Time worked' has a value and make it read-only if it does
        var timeWorked = g_form.getValue('time_worked');
        if (timeWorked != '') {
            g_form.setReadOnly('time_worked', true);
        } else {
            g_form.setReadOnly('time_worked', false);
        }
    } else {
        g_form.setMandatory('time_worked', false);
        g_form.setReadOnly('time_worked', false);
    }
}

Thanks @Ankur Bawiskar that was really silly yep the extra condition worked out perfectly as well as CS.

@Nisha30 

are you making the field mandatory via UI policy?

If yes then simply add this condition

conditions : state is one of closed complete/incomplete AND Time Worked is empty

Also create another onLoad client script which checks if state is Closed Complete or Closed Incomplete and if Time worked is filled, then make it readonly
