Hello Community,
Hope everyone is doing great.
We have a use case to restrict or make readonly on the List View. What would be the best approach for this to work on I wanted to do this with the ACLs.
My use case: We have 3 fields which is one is dependent on another, in some cases only 2 fields will be dependent. Lets say Field 1, Field2, Field 3. Here 3 is dependent on 2 and 2 is dependent on 1. If I select Field 1 and Field 2 the selected fields should become readonly or not editable on the List View. I hope that my requirement is clear, if not please feel free to connect with me so that we can solve this together.
Attaching the Screenshots for reference.
Here Info Type is Field 1, Info Qualifier is Field 2, Info Code is Field 3. Lets say if the condition has Info Type is CHR, Info Qualifier is SQC Info Text, Info Measure, UQC should not able to edit or readonly for the user.
Looking forward to your earliest response, Thanks!
Regards,
Rathan K

best way is block list edit for all 3 fields as they are dependent on each other.
Let user fill those on form.
You can use list_edit ACL on those fields and block the edit on list.
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
