set variables read only

[Yuval Lanton]

Hi.

I want the variables in the picture below to be read only, but only on the specific "SCTASK" where the short description is: "Deliver computer to..." Those variables are from the "SC_ CAT_ITEM" although you see them on the "SCTASK".

I tried a ui policy with a script but it did not succeed.

Hi @Yuval Lanton ,

You can make use of onLoad client script on sc_task as below

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    // Get the short description field value
    var shortDescription = g_form.getValue('short_description');

    // Check if the short description is "Deliver computer to..."
    if (shortDescription == "Deliver computer to...") {
        // Set the variables to read-only
        g_form.setReadOnly('variable_1', true);
        g_form.setReadOnly('variable_2', true);
        // Add additional lines to set the read-only status of other variables as needed
    }



}

HI Gunjan. The script doesn't work.. The variables become 'read only', only after the state changes to "closed complete". I want it to be 'read only' regardless of the state's value...

What is in your UI Policy? The code you need is

g_form.setVariablesReadOnly(true);

 You are probably better off with a onLoad Client Script. There are even out of the box client scripts for this which you can activate for the sc_req_item and sc_task tables, called 'Variable Editor Readonly', however they have no conditions. Therefore creating your own onLoad client script might be the best option, though technically I don't see why a UI policy wouldn't work the same way.

Hi @Yuval Lanton,

As @Gunjan Kiratkar @ and@Laszlo Balla mentioned, You can write UI policy on sc_task table.

Check the short_description value is required value or not. the set all variables read only using

g_form.setVariablesReadOnly(true);

Thanks,
