Updating read only fields using browser console or Inspect

[ServiceNow10sun]

Hi All,

Users are updating read only fields using F12 or Inspect or browser console in incident or change request forms , is there any solution in ServiceNow to restrict this so that no one can change  read only fields in any form.

The developer tool available in browser is allowing to overwrite ACLs, UI policies.

Hi @ServiceNow10sun ,

Use Data policy instead. This will enforce it on DB level.

If this helped please like and mark it as an accepted solution. 

Thanks,

Hi @ServiceNow10sun ,

Nice scenario, You might use before BR where you can verify the previous value with changed one.

OR

we can go with the onSubmit client script where we called Script include to verify the current and previous value.
