BPM to set a field to Read Only

[Daniel_White]

I am looking to set the Lock Qty field to read only based upon a BPM that already sets the field to True when the job is released. We have users that despite being told that once the job is released and us setting the Lock Qty to true via BPM will still go into the job and un lock the quantity and then change the job quantity.
Is setting a field to read only via BPM possible?

I don’t know if you can set a field to read only from a BPM, however we’ve done something similar.

There are probably a multitude of ways to go about this though…

We have BPMs that will raise an exception when a user unchecks a box and clicks save. This halts the update process and the changes aren’t saved.

You may try row-rule. That should make your field read-only based on your condition.

Set UD field on PartRev to read only based on Approved field

Hi there, I’ve created a UD field on PartRev for Draw Rev. I would like this field to be read only if Approved = True. Therefore, I don’t want to set this in Extended Properties as I don’t want it to be read only always. I could create a BPM to prevent users editing this field if Approved = True but would prefer to make it read only. I’ve tried using customization wizard to do this but can’t seem to get it to work. I do not have scripting abilities. Cheers Dena [image]

Additionally you can try this too.
