I want to make all fields read only of a table using client script but it has a lot of fields so it is very time consuming using g_form.setReadOnly().So is there any other way to do that?

function onLoad(){
     try{
           //Get the 'Variables' section
           var ve = $('variable_map').up('table');
           //Disable all elements within with a class of 'cat_item_option'
           ve.select('.cat_item_option', '.slushselectmtm', '.questionsetreference', '.form-control', '.checkbox').each(function(elmt){
                 elmt.disabled = true;
           });
           //Remove any reference or calendar icons
           ve.select('img[src*=reference_list.gifx]', 'img[src*=small_calendar.gifx]').each(function(img){
                 img.hide();
           });
           //Hide list collector icons
           ve.select('img[src*=arrow]').each(function(img){
                 img.up('table').hide();
           });
     }
     catch(e){}
}

Hi Deepak,

just FYI, if you recommend this script to someone, could you please also add that this will not be supported by ServiceNow Customer Support as we actively discourage our customers from using DOM manipulation? Please see ServiceNow KB: Date Variable values change when saving a record that includes the Variable Editor, i...   for more information.

Hi Anish,

Try this :

function onLoad() {

  var StrQry='';

  var fieldname = '';

  var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_dictionary');

  StrQry="name=incident";   //change the table name ,for example I used   'incident', and also you can add more query here.

  gr.encodedQuery = StrQry;

  gr.query();

  while(gr.next()){

  fieldname=gr.element;

  g_form.setReadOnly(fieldname,true);

  }

}

Thanks,

Farukh
