Setting fields to read-only in UI Action

[ceraulo]

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,

you want to make it readonly or editable

your script is wrong; I mentioned it should be readOnly true

g_form.setReadOnly('field', true);

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

The script is correct. Currently, these fields are read-only. These should be editable once the UI is clicked.

The UI Action requirement is a combination of setting fields to read-only or editable.

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.

Please mark this as Correct or Helpful if it helps.

Thanks! The cuprit was ACLs for all the fields I wanted to update. As a workaround, I created a true/false field. I set this true when the UI action is clicked, and used this custom field in the ACL.

Hi,

are those fields readonly via dictionary level

OR

are those fields read-only via field level WRITE ACL

If ACL is there then you cannot use g_form
