make filed Readonly in business rule

[venkatrajesh]

in client side we can achieve this byusing : g_form.setReadonly('impact'',true) or else UI policy action but in

server-side script   business rule   i have tried as below

current.setReadonly('impact',true);

but not working

can any one have a idea?

Btes approcah would be to use   ACL to make field readonly .Since it works both form and list

Hi,

What is your use case? You should use Access controls for making fields read-only at server side.

Thanks

Have a look into the wiki article how business rules work:

How business rules work

You could use the current.setAbortAction(true) method to prevent the saving.

The best approach would be the Access Control Rules:

Access control rules

You define which user/roles have access to explicit tables/records/fields.

Hi Venkat,

Setting a field as ReadOnly or Mandatory or Visible is totally on UI Side, i.e, on the client side. So you can achieve this via Client side scripting (Client Script, UI Policy etc.). But when you say Business rule, you mean to set those client side behavior in the server side--doesn't this sound odd!?!

Well, you also have options to do so from ACL and Dictionary entries apart from Client Script and UI Policy. Could you please elaborate what drives you to think about Business rule for setting a field ReadOnly?

I hope this helps.Please mark correct/helpful based on impact
