How to make fields read only on "Update All" / "Update Selected"

[Harshal Aditya]

Hi Experts,

Could you please help me making the fields of Update ALL/Update selected form read only using Client script or UI policy.

As we do not want user to update particular fields using bulk update functionality.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Harshal Aditya 

Not 100% sure, but did you try oncell edit client script?

Hello @Harshal Aditya 

You can try this code in client script:

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   if (g_form.getTableName() === 'sys_user') { //update table name 
        // List of fields to restrict
        var restrictedFields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email']; //update field names

        // Loop through restricted fields and make them read-only
        restrictedFields.forEach(function (field) {
            g_form.setReadOnly(field, true);
        });
    }
}

Hi @Juhi Poddar - Thanks for the update. Client script and UI policy are not working on the update all/update selected form.

Is there any way we can enable it

Hi @Harshal Aditya ,
How about this.

create a new view and remove the field that you don't want the users to edit and update the "Update all" and "Update selected" context menu (sys_ui_context_menu) and put the force the users to be new view by setting 

sysparm_view to new view that's created.
