List collector on catalog item

[sharonjanisch]

I'm creating a catalog item and am using a list collector field to select people from the User (sys_user) table.       When I have used Lists on other records such as a change request, you unlock the field, select the users from the list lookup and then lock the field again.   The users show up below separated by commas.   On the catalog item with the
List Collector the filter, collection box and list appear on the form even after the order is completed.   There is no option to unlock and lock the field so that only the values display.     Is there a way for the list collector on a catalog item to behave like the List field on other records?

Hi Sharon,

The Lock and Unlock functionality is not available in List collector by default. Once the order is submitted, you can copy the values from the List collector to another String variable which will display only the values. Also once the request is submitted, you can hide the list collector variable and only display the string variable which has the values alone.

Think over it and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Aswin - that should work for us.   It will just take a little training since our users are accustomed to using the lock/unlock functionality.     Thanks!

Hi Sharon, 

You can lock the list collector by using the variable attribute glide_list.

Thanks.

Thanks. This worked for me. Even the page loading time is less when compared to the list collector directly.
