Field Read Only based on a value of another field

Hello,
In our project we´d like to have Field A made Read Only based on a value of Field B. Otherwise it should be R/W.
Would this be possible in OnDemand ?
Txs. a lot for any help.
Antonio

If your field is the key field that helps in dynamic layout then this is possible. If not try doing a validation on the field.

Fields required based on a value in another field

Hi,
I am looking to have fields required (Annual Revenues and # of Employees) based on the value of another field (Ownership). Basically, if the value is Public the user is required to enter the Annual Revenue and Employees fields. I thought about using dynamic layouts but the only key field for Accounts is Account Type.
Thanks,
Caryn

Hi Caryn!
I think it is not possible for making #Employees and Revenues required depending on Ownership(as it is a look up field).. it should be possible if you want to do it on any other criteria other than ownership by just renaming the Account Type, Disable all the values of Account Tyope add new values to Pick List and make it driving picklist upon your requirements..
If you require Account Type, create a custom picklist "Account-Type" and add the values.

Make certain fields in the Account Detail Page Read-Only based on a Checkbo

Hello
We would like to make certain fields on the Account Detail Page Read-Only based on a checkbox that is on the Admin Account Detail Page. The fields we are looking to make read-only are Account Name, Primary Address, Phone Number.
Thanks

Brian,
I think you'd need to use dynamic page layouts for this. Look at the Account type values, if you are already using it then replicate those values you have so if you have Business and Personal make it Business Read-only and Personal Read-only.
When you are ready to lockdown those fields change the Account type from Business to Business Readonly and have the page layout for this screen with Account type, Name, Primary address and phone number as read only. You will a separate page layout for yourself so that Account Type stays as writable for you.
You will need to check if you can have Account Name as read only as it is a required field.
cheers

Make field read only untill value within pciklist is choosen

Hello,
I am trying to establish if it is possible to make a field read-only until a value within a pick list is chosen. Basically we have a pick list called structure and if the field value called "Aligned" is selected then I want the text field called Aligned Name to be available for import all other times this field should not be available.
Has anyone done anything similar? I'm guessing that this could only be achieved through WF but I haven't been able to find any code to make fields read only.

For those of you unable to download the document from MetaLink3 here it is:
As an example to illustrate this requirement, let’s say that once there is a checkbox field called "My_Check_Box". When this field is checked, the "Account Type" field need to become a required for entry by the user. To do this follow these steps:
1. In the Admin> Application Customization, select the appropriate Object and go into the Object Field Setup.
2. Edit the field called "My_Check_Box" and enter a Field Validation expression so it uses the following expression:
=[<bMy_Check_Box_ITAG>] AND NOT([<AccountType>] IS NULL AND [<bMy_Check_Box_ITAG >]='Y')
3. Enter an explicit error message.
This expression means that when the checkbox field is checked, the Account Type becomes required. Your custom error message will be raised when checking the checkbox, leaving the account type unpopulated and trying to save the account record.
4. Edit the Account Type field and enter the following expression as Field Validation:
=[<AccountType>] AND NOT([<AccountType>] IS NULL AND [<bMy_Check_Box_ITAG >]='Y')
5. Enter an explicit error message.
That validation handles the user case where a user changes the Account Type value from a NOT NULL value to a NULL value. Your custom error message will be raised when emptying out the account type from a populated value to nothing while the checkbox is checked and trying to save the account record.
Note that the expression in both fields validations begins with the field variable on which the statement is being written.**

Applet Field Read Only

I've to create several fields on a custom form applet and these fields should be read only in certain conditions based on a value in an other field on the same applet. how can i do it in a simple way?
Thank you very much

Hi,
I would suggest an other solution. You can create a new Field with a calculated Expression. You have to add a BC user property to every field you want to make readonly.The expression of your calculated field should meet your criteria to make the other fields read-only. If your other fields should be read-only, your expression should be true (Y). If your other fields should not be read only, your expression shuld be false (N)
BC User Property Name: Field Read Only Field: [Field Name]
BC User Property Value: YourCalculatedField
I think this solution is better than using toogle Applets. If you have multiple copies of your Applet you have to change every applet if you need to add a new Field.

OA Framework,how to make field Read-Only which is used inside Switch case

Hi all,
Using Personalization in OA Framework, when I am trying to make field read only, which is inside Swich statement ,then that field get automatically hidden.but my purpose is to make that field read-only not hide.
My field name is Proposed Annual Increase Amount .
The Personalization swtich case lookslike this :-
Field Name Shown
Switcher: Proposed Annual Increase Amount Yes
case_name_HrPRateAnnTotInputSs
Message Text Input: New Annual Amount Yes
case_name_HrPRateAnnInputSs
Message Text Input: Annual Pay Rate Yes
case_name_HrPRateCurrAnnSalSs
Message Styled Text: Pay Rate
Regards,
Mxj2930

Can you be a bit clear on your requirement. If you have a switcher to display a field based on some condition, the other fields will not get displayed. I did not get as to what you mean by "my purpose is to make that field read-only not hide.".
Are you talking about the case, when the "New Annual Amount" (or) "Annual Pay Rate" fields are displayed conditionally, you want them to be read-only and not editable. If this is the case, set the read-only property of these fields to true.

Populate one text field on a form based on the value in another

I am new to APEX and building my first application.
When a user enters a value in one field, I would like to run a SQL command and then display a value in another field based on the value in the first field. For instance, if a user enters a part number in one field, when they tab off of the field, I would like to display the name of the part in the part name field.
Thanks

Thanks. That put me on the right track. I used that link to find the link http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11:2890374750690437 and then using the two was able to put together a solution.
I am down to one last issue. I am able to return the name back from the process and display it with an alert statement. Unfortunately, I am unable to display the value on the form.
I am doing the following.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function f_getCustomerName(id)
var v_id = id;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getCustomerName',$v('pFlowStepId'));
get.addParam('x01',$v('P2_CUSTOMER_ID'));
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
gReturn = (!gReturn)?'null':gReturn;
/* The below do not work
$s('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME',gReturn);
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = gReturn;
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = 'TEST';
alert(document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value );
alert(gReturn);
//-->
</script>
Process: getCustomerName
declare
l_customer_id customer.customer_id%type;
l_customer_name customer.customer_name%type;
begin
l_customer_id := to_number(wwv_flow.g_x01);
select customer_name
into l_customer_name
from customer
where customer_id = l_customer_id;
htp.p(l_customer_name);
end;

Making a field read only (and bound) or editable depending on some criteria

Hi,
I am using Netweaver 2004s SP15 and Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1 with Web Dynpro for Java.
I am generating a PDF that contains a number of fields that are bound context values attribues.
Now I know according to certain criteria if any given field will have a value....
Now if such a given field has a value then it must populate the Adobe form and make that field read-only - so it can not be changed.
However, if that field has no value.. instead I need to make it editable.
I am re-implementing the application this will be used within; and the previous version had 8 different interactive forms to cater for the 8 different possible combinations of fields that would not have values.
I would really really prefer to have one interactive form to maintain with logic in it that determines dynamically if a field should be read-only or editable. (For example I could have a boolean context node that could be used)
Am I doomed to have to create 8 different forms? Or is there a way of doing this smarter?
Thanks to anyone who can point me to the light,
Ilan

hmmm....
I did a search through the forum using the phrase "javascript" and it turned out a lot posts that indicate that this should indeed be possible.
I am boggled, the original application was developed by an Indian outsourcing company that is well respected. The developer who took over maintenance of it told me that it was impossible to change the read only nature of the fields once set at design-time.
My search through the forum has turned up much to indicate that this design was idiotic and the "facts" I was given completely wrong.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... I am marking this as answered now. I will have to learn some javascript.
Are there any caveats for using it within WDJ?
I am assuming I can do something simple in pseudo-code.. (I will need to work out the Javascript version).
if (hasOption1) {
field.readonly = true;
field.style = sunken;
else if (hasOption2) {
else if (hasOption3) {
etc
(There are only actually 3 options that can change.. but that results in 8 different possible forms)

How to make users to select the date from calendar control only, by my making the date text field read only (don't want to let users type the date) in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010. I am looking for a solution which can

I created a Custom list New Form and need to make the text fields read only

When I use SharePoint Designer and add the read only attribute to the SharePoint form field, then it throws a web part error.
but here is the thing, I have current user Filters populating the Form Fields. So the form fields populate First name , last name etc. and I need these fields read-only....
the Client doesn t want the end user to Change those fields. Is there any way to "LOCK" the form fields?
As I have only 7 text fields that need to be locked down. and one field is a signature line that is a true input field.. where the user has to inter their initials.
Any ideas? as I have tried most of the items available thru searches nothing works, or it throws that web part error message.
Steve Athey

Daniel: ( I'm now at work, a different ID is logged on for me)
I used SharePoint Designer.
Steps:
created a web part page
then on the SharePoint Designer ribbon I then went to insert:
new item form
Then I selected my data source (list)
then I placed the 8 columns on the page
a page viewer web part to pull the manual that people have to read.
and 7 current user filter webparts. (1 for each form field) Yes it is over kill, but I'm trying to keep this straight out of box as much as possible...
then for the form fields
I added a parameter and the read only tag see below in bold:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" text="{$ParamEmployID}" id="ff17{$Pos}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff17',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Employee_x0020_ID')}"
ReadOnly="True" />
I also added the parameters in the ribbon area
the error message doesn't tell me much, it just send me to web part maintenance page...
if I removed the ReadOnly = True then the error goes away..... So I was trying to find a quick simple JQuery and or javascript code item that would make the 7 text fields readonly and leave the
8th text field alone to allow people to place their initials on the page to say that they read the manual.
I have created hundreds of these types of pages .. this is the first time I have run into this issue, but it also the first time I have tried to use the ReadOnly = True item.
Any Ideas and or thought on how to make the items read only? and not throw the error.

How to make fields read only after form is filled in

I am creating forms to be used within our company. The customer srv representative (CSR) would fill in the form and send it to the customer for signature and initial. There are a few issues I can't solve.
1) I need to make the rate & services fields read only after the CSR initials the form

Will the CSR have Acrobat or just Reader, and what type of computer will the CSR be using (Windows/Mac/mobile OS)? If just Reader (Wind/Mac), this is possible by setting the fields to read-only with JavaScript. The problem is this can't be considered secure, even if using a password as discussed here: Password-protect and hide one form field
With Acrobat you have the ability to flatten certain fields, which makes it a bit more difficult to change the "fields".

How to make fields read-only

While I may allow a customer to see their billing address, I don't want them to change it. How can I make certain fields read-only?

Hi Thomas,
If you are using 2007, find the ~/common/controls/accountaddressblock.ascx and make the templatefields that hold the delete button and the edit button invisible.
<asp:TemplateField Visible="false">
You will probably also want to make the add button invisible.
If you are on 5.9, this may not work. I think the address block is also used in the admin area.
