I have created a the following persistent field that will be updated by an event action.

 

Is there a way to make this field read only when viewing it on the screen.

 

Thanks in advance.

@JannetteC  one thing that comes to mind is that you could have:

  • EMAILED_TO field persisted and populated by event action
  • EMAILED_TO_READ_ONLY field to fetch the value from EMAILED_TO

Then on client side, make only the 2nd custom field visible through base profile. This way the users will never see the original EMAILED_TO field which can be updated, but will see the read only version.

I hope this helps.

Hi @JannetteC @Marcel.Ausan 

 

One other option is to make it read only using the Properties. That would eliminate duplicating the field as a read only.

RMB on the screen where you have the custom field enabled. Properties

Go to the Read Only tab and mark the fields as read only.

You can modify base profile with this setting to distribute to multiple users.

 

Hope it helps!
