Set Checklist Formatter to Read Only

[westonr]

I'm using the Checklist Formatter on the SCTASK form, and I have a need to make it read only when the SCTASK has a certain Request Item type. What I'm looking to accomplish here is to remove options to add/remove the checklist and add/remove checklist items. 

I managed to accomplish this using an onLoad client script, but this was done using DOM manipulation which I don't want to use. Is there a way to lock down checklists without using DOM manipulation?

Thanks,

Weston

I've always considered checklist to be a more personalized feature.  I'd think really carefully on whether I wanted to create a customization for something so narrowly use case specific, and then support that customization into the future.

In situations like this (reducing features) I'd ask myself & stakeholder:  What is the risk with keeping this open?  Is there a risk of compliance or workflow damage?  If not, is it worth the dev time & maintenance?

Found this while exploring a similar question, maybe it'll help your cause too.
