Read only on condition

[markdart]

I have a Field on Time Card I want to be Read only except when the user has timecard_admin role.

here is what I tried with no success. screenshots attached

1. UI Policy Script script execute if True 

function onCondition() {

  return !g_user.hasRole("timecard_admin");

}

2.UI Policy Action - User Read only True

The UI policy seems to be always running True when I tested with the diagnostics tool.

hi @markdart ,

As per best practice it should be through ACls, but if want to achieve it you can use Onload Client Script and use the below sample code : 

if(g_user.hasRoleExactly('timecard_admin '))
{
g_form.setReadOnly('fieldName1', false);
}

If this information proves useful, kindly mark it as helpful or accepted solution.

Thanks,

Hello @markdart,

Please use client script instead of UI Policy, if you're doing some scripting:

function onLoad() {
    // Check if the current user does NOT have the 'timecard_admin' role
    if (!g_user.hasRoleExactly('timecard_admin')) {
        g_form.setReadOnly('your_field_name', true);
    } else {
        g_form.setReadOnly('your_field_name', false);
    }
}

Please mark my solution as helpful and accepted for future reference.

Thanks

1. Is the field already read-only via Dictionary or ACL?
   UI Policies can't override read-only settings from Dictionary or ACLs.
