read-only fields

[hadron_collider]

hello,

how can I check what actually sets the fields to read-only on a form?

I checked the client scripts for the table and did not find anything that would set it to readonly.

Hi there,

Could be multiple things, Access Controls, UI Policies, Client Scripts, etc..

Personally I like to first check if its server side or client side. An easy check for this is to reload the screen, is the field briefly not read-only and than quickly changes to read-only? If so: client side. It the field is immediately read-only on reload: server side.

things to check

1) dictionary read-only

2) client script

3) ui policy

4) data policy which runs as UI policy on client side

5) UI script

6) ACLs

You can use field watcher to inspect the particular field
