Restrict adding/deleting of checklist item?

[JennyHu]

Hello community,

Does anyone know if it's possible to not allow users to add additional checklist item or remove an existing checklist item?

I have a Business Rule to load a checklist from template after a record is created, and expect the users to work with the items from the template.   I would like to turn off the ability for users to add additional check list items or remove an existing item.   Is this possible?

Thanks,

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

I am not aware of functionality to lock down this functionality; however, you could create an onLoad Client Script for these records that removes the functionality from the form.   Something like the below might work.

var domMenu = document.getElementsByClassName('icon-contain-menu');   // Checklist menu
var domAdd = document.getElementsByClassName('add-item');   // Add Item Row
var domHandle = document.getElementsByClassName('handle-contain');   // Reorder Icon
var domIcon = document.getElementsByClassName('icon-contain');   // Delete Icon

removeDom(domMenu);
removeDom(domAdd);
removeDom(domHandle);
removeDom(domIcon);

function removeDom(elemArray) {
   while(elemArray.length > 0) {
       elemArray[0].parentNode.removeChild(elemArray[0]);
   }
}

Hope this helps!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply.   I tried the onLoad Client Script code you have provided, and the document object returns null.   Is there a way to refer to a checklist formatter on a form using g_form?

Thanks,

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

Unfortunately I am not aware of any methods to access the checklist through the g_form.

Hi Jenny,

I worked on an onLoad script that should wait for the checklist to render before removing the functionality.   Let me know if this works for you.

function onLoad() {
   var domChecklistItems = document.getElementsByClassName('handle-contain');
   setTimeout(function waitChecklistItems() {
       if (document.body.contains(domChecklistItems[0])) {
           var domMenu = document.getElementsByClassName('icon-contain-menu');   // Checklist menu
           var domAdd = document.getElementsByClassName('add-item');   // Add Item Row
           var domHandle = document.getElementsByClassName('handle-contain');   // Reorder Icon
           var domIcon = document.getElementsByClassName('icon-contain');   // Delete Icon

           removeDom(domMenu);
           removeDom(domAdd);
           removeDom(domHandle);
           removeDom(domIcon);
       } else {
           setTimeout(waitChecklistItems, 10);
       }
   }, 10);

   function removeDom(elemArray) {
       while(elemArray.length > 0) {
           elemArray[0].parentNode.removeChild(elemArray[0]);
       }
   }
}
