Setting fields to read-only in UI Action

ceraulo · ‎05-04-2022

Hello!

I am creating a UI Action wherein clicking the UI Action would set some fields to read-only and other fields to editable.
Is there a way to do this?

Please help!

Thank you.

Hi,

If those fields are made read only at dictionary level or through ACL then you won't be able to make it editable by UI action. Check what making it read only.

Let me know if you have any further queries.

Hi,

yes it should be possible provided your UI action is client side

g_form.setReadOnly('field', true);

Hi

Make UI Action client callable and use g_form.setReadOnly('fieldname', true);

Yes thats possible use similar scripts that you use in Client Script

Just define a method name in onClick field and write the script inside that method as shown below

I tried your suggestion but it does not work. It is client callable (Client checkbox is checked).
