Hi Community,

Can anyone please say how to update a read only field as 'empty'.

Hi @spandana kalla 

you can install the SN Utils Browser extension. Then double-click on the label "Substate" and remove the value. Last step is updating the form.

As it's read only , I s there any way to make it as empty. I am using this script but it's not working:

var tr = new GlideRecord('ast_contract');
tr.addEncodedQuery('numberSTARTSWITHCNTR0011651');
tr.query();
while(tr.next()){
tr.substate=''; // making values empty
tr.setWorkflow(false);
tr.update();
}
