When we create an Emergency change via P1 and P2 incident is there any OOB function to make the "Type" field read only when the change is in "new" state.

You can create a UI policy and make this field read only if state = new

You can create a client script or UI policy to make 'Type' field readonly in 'New' state.

Hi @pragadeesh254 ,
There is no OOB rule that specifically makes Type read‑only when an Emergency change (from P1/P2) is in New state, but you can match OOB behavior with a simple UI Policy or client script
Create a UI Policy on Change Request [change_request]:
Condition:
Type is Emergency
State is New
UI Policy action:
Field: type
Read‑only: true
Mandatory: false
This will lock the Type field whenever an Emergency change is in New state, regardless of how it was created (including via P1/P2 incidents).
