I have created a UI action Locked. I want when user click on it , it should be grayed out . Screenshot attached (UI Action encircled in red) :-
Thanks,
Saurabh
Hi Sourav,
Here you go. The below procedure works for me
1. Create a custom checkbox on your form(for me its flag)
2. Write the below code on the locked out UI action
function hello()
{
document.getElementById("159c99bb4f303200b5d50ab18110c747").disabled = true;
var ga = new GlideAjax("hello");
ga.addParam("sysparm_name","hello2");
ga.addParam("sysparm_parent",g_form.getValue('number'));
ga.getXML(test2);
function test2(response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
}
}
3. And the script include
var hello = Class.create();
hello.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
hello2: function() {
var groupID=this.getParameter('sysparm_parent');
gs.log('testing1'+groupID);
var gr=new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.addQuery('number',groupID);
gr.query();
if(gr.next())
{
gr.u_flag='true';
gr.update();
}
},
type: 'hello'
});
4. To control the reloading issue, write the below onload client script
function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if(g_form.getValue('u_flag')=='true')
{
document.getElementById("159c99bb4f303200b5d50ab18110c747").disabled = true;
}
}
Please note: I haven't used the try/catch statements, but you need to use it in your code while playing with DOM.
Also you need to hide the flag button from the form through UI policy or ACL(dont remove it from form layout or else it will not work).
Please hit LIKE or mark HELPFUL if found appropriate
If I understand your requirement: When user click this button => set read-only for some fields in this form.
This is my suggestion:
1) Define a hidden field (type=True/False)
example: u_editable (default = true)
2) When User click this button => set hidden field u_editable = false
3) Create an UI Policy with:
Apply: u_editable = false
Actions: Add list fields that you want to set read-only.
