Write ACL overwriting UI Policy

[Ryax1]

Hi,

I have created a scoped application which does not extend any other table. I have created a read, write, create, and delete ACL to allow roles to perform these actions on records in the application.

I would now like make some of the fields read-only upon submission of a record, I have tried to do this via a Client Script using the below:

function onSubmit() {
g_form.setReadyOnly('short_description', true);
}

However the field doesn't get changed to read only, even if I change it to onLoad it does not work.

I then tried creating a UI Policy and found that the field briefly changes to read-only before quickly changing back to editable, making me think that it is the ACLs that are overwriting the field.

I have a table level write ACL that gives write access to all roles which I suspect is causing the issue however if I remove this then all of the fields become read-only/uneditable.

How can I make it so that my users still have access to all other fields but some are made read-only on submission?

Hi @Ryax1 

use

g_form.setDisabled('short_description', true);

Hi Maik,

I tried changing g_form.setReadOnly to g_form.setDisabled but nothing changes. I think it must be ACL related.

Hello @Ryax1 ,

There is spelling mistake in code its should 'setReadyOnly', kindly use on load script with following code.

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	g_form.setReadOnly('short_description',true);
   
}

Hi Sunny,

Apologies I think that must've been a typo when I created the community post. I double checked the code in my instance and it is set to 'setReadOnly'.

Thanks
