Watch field is not showing when right-clicking on the field.

[Med99]

I want to know what causes a field to be read-only by using field watching, but when I right-click on the field, the option doesn’t appear. How can I make it show? Thanks.

Hi @Med99,

• Create or set the system property:
  glide.ui.polaris.on_off_user_pref_enabled = true

• Disable Next Experience:
  Go to User Menu > Preferences > User Experience and toggle off Next Experience.

  

• Refresh the browser screen.

• Enable Developer Tools:
  Navigate to Settings > Developer, then enable JavaScript Log and Field Watcher option.

  

• Watch a field: Open the target record, right-click on the field, and select Watch - 'field_name'.

Thanks & Regards,
Muhammad Iftikhar

Things to check to debug

1) is field read-only at dictionary level

2) any client script or UI policy is making it readonly

3) if your table is task extended and the field is coming from task, then any Dictionary Override is making it readonly

4) Any UI script is making it readonly
