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.

Values should be true instead of false

The script is correct. These 2 fields need to be editable when the button is clicked.

There are other fields which should be read-only but I did not include in the screenshot.

Can you check if these fields are readonly at dictionary level?

Hi,

g_form.setReadOnly('renewable', true); you have added as false which will not make it read only

The script is correct. Those fields should be editable when the UI button is clicked.

There are other fields that will be read-only but I have not added those yet.
