Hi developers, for change request approval tab can this modern cell coloring be done for all users ?
But I want to make unclick "Modern Cell Coloring" checkbox in the change form for all users. How can I handle this?
Though unchecking modern cell coloring works but it has to be done for all users in each instance so if a script does ?
If so appreciate if you could guide me, Thankss
@Ankur Bawiskar , @Karan Chhabra6 any suggestions. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

The setting for modern cell coloring is a user preference. You can add a new user preference record with no user value to set it as the default value, and you can delete any other preference records, but you users can still override the value with their own preferences. The only way to block users from setting the preference (that I know of) would be a business rule on the user preference table to prevent users from creating their own preference.

@John Dahl : Thanks john for quick response. There are such user preferences created for other users. And I created a new user preference with no users in it with default value as false . Will this work ?

that should apply to anyone who did not set their own preference to true. If you want to force the value, then delete the existing personal preferences and setup a BR to block new personal preferences.

@John Dahl : Thanks john for the insight provided, My criteria is to have this preference for all users, let some might have set their manually. Still is there need to block new ?
