Make the channel field read only

[yardenKrispel]

Hello, I have a task that I need to turn the channel field into a read only field, but only after the incident was created, like doing either save or sumbit, I did it right now and it doesn't work

Dear @yardenKrispel ,

Simply use !g_form.isNewRecord() in your onload client scirpt.

something like this :

if (!g_form.isNewRecord()){

g_form.setReadOnly('contact_type', true);

}

Hi,
Can you please do it as per below code in onLoad client script on incident table.

function onLoad() {
   if(g_form.isNewRecord()){
    g_form.setMandatory('contact_type',true);
g_form.setReadOnly('contact_type',false);
   }
else
{
   g_form.setMandatory('contact_type',false);
g_form.setReadOnly('contact_type',true);
}
}

Hello @yardenKrispel 

Yes you can make it work by using client script and you can refer the below code:

onLoad Client Script:

if (g_form.isNewRecord) {

    g_form.setReadOnly('field_name', false);

} else {

    g_form.setReadOnly('field_name', true);

}

Let me know your views on this and Mark ✅Correct if this solves your query and also mark 👍Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks,

Hi @yardenKrispel 

You can leverage this API isNewRecord(). Let's define an ACL Write for the specific Channel field in the table.

Sample below.

answer = current.isNewRecord();
