Hello everyone,

I have created a custom entity on IFS Cloud. One attribute is the SITE_CODE and the other one is the description. Both are persistent fields.

On my page I want the SITE_CODE to be insertable but not editable once inserted.

In the entity, I have configured the SITE_CODE field as follows :

However, on the page, while creating a new record, the SITE_CODE field is grayed out. 

I tried to check the “Editable ” parameter on the page designer for this field but this makes the field editable even after a record is created.

Can someone please help me with this case?

Thanks in advance.

Rouvanen,

What version of IFS Cloud are you using?

 

What you have done to set up the custom attribute as insertable and not updatable is correct … you should not need to set the field as editable in Page Designer.

 

I just recreated the scenario in both IFS Cloud 21R2 & 22R1 and I am experiencing the same behaviour, I think this is an issue.

Hello,

 

I also have the same problem on 21R2.

Seems that compared to Apps 10, we cannot define secondary keys in a custom entity (versus a Custom Logical Unit). This would also mean that duplicate records can be created. Feedback on this problem would really be helpful.

 

Regards,

Trishen
