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

Harshal Aditya · ‎11-26-2024

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 ,
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.

Regards,
Chaitanya

Hi @Chaitanya ILCR - Thanks it works.
So no way we can use client script and UI policies right ?

Hi @Harshal Aditya ,

as you have mentioned the client script and UI policies are not working.

you can either follow the first method or I see not so recommended solution as well

set the field that you don't want the users to update to readonly on dictionary level and create a onload client script to make them editable based on the URL. if the URL contains incident_update then don't do anything else(with existing condtions if any) make the fields readonly(not recomending this but I can see this as one more solution)
