How to Show Preview Icons on Inactive Records

We would like to show the preview icons next to reference fields on our form even when a ticket is closed.

 

Currently the icons go away once the record is inactive, how can we show those preview icons at all times?

that's OOTB platform behavior.

if the ticket is closed all fields are readonly and it hides/removes the preview icon

Steps

1) add this in the dictionary attribute of those reference fields and it will start showing up

readonly_clickthrough=true
