Mimic closed record for UD table client customization

I’m probably missing something obvious here, but I have created a pretty extensive UD client customization with near 100 fields and I would like to mimic the “closed” function of other standard Epicor screens like SO, jobs, etc. I have a state machine running behind the scenes so I have a state reserved for “closed”, but I have not been able to find an easy way to render all of the fields as read only. I know I can set each field individually, but is there a “global” way to make the entire form read only? As another option, I know how to Show and Close panels, not sure if there is a way to make a panel Read Only.

I would like to know that as well. I’m looking for something for SO Entry but couldn’t find anything except setting each field read-only. I ended up with a BPM on the Update method that will prevent any changes. Maybe you can look at that too, rather than making 100 fields read-only one by one.

Should I take the silence to this question as…

  1. This isn’t possible?
  2. The answer is yes and the solution is so obvious it’s not worth responding too?

3.) Not sure how to do it.

Certainly, a BPM could prevent updates based on the value of a field. What I’m not sure how to do the read-only on the client side like approved Quotes or Purchase Orders.

And with Kinetic screens, how much time would I put into the Classic screens?

Thanks Mark. Point well made. I’m stuck with what I have for the moment which is why I’m trying to keep things as simple as possible.
