ReadOnly field in edit view [ Edited ]

[Kayono]

Hi,

This is for SLX Mobile v.1.2.

Can somebody share with me what is the best way to make some fields of the edit view to be read only?

For example in Account Edit screen if we want to make the Status to be a read only field.

Thank you,

You can set the ReadOnly property (and readonlyeditor) to true. Or, if you want to do this by profile then you might want to put people into profiles and the profile will be applied per user (such that it may be enabled for certain users and read-only for others). Look in the Admin help for Field Level Security.

You might want to take a look at the postings on teh partner side of the community under mobile.

Thank you Mike and RJ for the responses.

The client wants to make it readOnly for the Mobile only. So I don't think I can use the profile.

RJ, I did search in the partner area and could not find any sample of making a field "ReadOnly" for the SlxMobile.

I saw something similar (for multiple pick list) but not sure if that would apply in my situation.

Thanks,

Edit View controls are handled by the Field "classes" (argos-sdk/src/Controls) and only several fields support `readonly: true` (lowercase), namely TextField and its deritatives. However, all fields do have a `.disable()` function.

Disabling (or setting readonly) for a field does not guarantee that the user cannot change it, so if it is critical they don't I'd suggest re-enforcing any mobile client side rules on the backend.

Another thing to consider is that when Save is pressed it will gather all values - except for HiddenFields and fields where `exclude: true` or `include: false` are set.

You can see an example of readonly/exclude at the latest development on github: https://github.com/SageSalesLogix/argos-saleslogix/blob/master/src/Views/OpportunityContact/Edit.js#...

That link is dojo based, but the layout/fields are the same.

Thank you for the example.

Do you know where I can find example to disable a picklist or lookup?

Thanks,
