Set Name-Value pairs field to read-only on form

[Community Alums]

Hi,

I'm struggling to get a name-value pairs type field to be read-only on a form:

Using a UI policy doesn't work, and I've tried a few variations of client scripts (based upon a search on here), including some that do DOM manipulation, but nothing seems to work!

Has anyone managed to do this (I'm on Vancouver).

Thanks!

@Community Alums Did you try making the field read only via a write ACL?

[Community Alums]

Yes, I have done it via ACL, but would have preferred to do it via a UI policy!

@Community Alums Unfortunately, making a key value pair field read only is not supported via UI Policy.

Field level WRITE ACL is the only way.

Client script or UI policies don't work for Name-value field type

OR

you can try to use DOM manipulation and even if it works I won't recommend that as it's not a best practice.
