Make section fields read only using onload client script

[bandideena12]

Hi,

In my table there are 2 sections, I need one field under the section, which should be read only when the state is assigned (after making the changes as state=assigned and saving/submitting the form). i tried the below code it is working for the fields not in section but not working to section fields. The script is...

var stat = g_form.getValue('state');

   if (stat == '3') {

            g_form.setReadOnly('triage_outcome_summary', true);

        }

Example: if I make the description field readonly using the above script its working, but if I select the field under the other section the script is not working. Please help me on this script.

Please check if field is set as mandatory.

Looking in your screenshot field 'Triage Outcome Summary' is mandatory and making it read only will be restricted and that may be the reason for not making field read only. This is completely logical when field is mandatory then it can not be read only.

Next poosibilties:

1. Identify from where this field is made mandatory (client script / UI policy) and then adjust the code based on your condition to make it readonly.

or

2. in you above code, make field non-mandatory first and then make it read only.
