Field Validation on Read Only Field

I'm trying to create a pop up error box if a field contains null values. The problem is that the field I'm trying to do the validation on is a read-only field. It's the Account field on the Contact Object or Module. It won't allow me to include validation. The goal here is to have a POP UP ERROR box come up if someone does not select a value for that field. Making it required doesn't generate a popup box, it only has a small "required" text next to the field which can be easily missed by a user. Any ideas?

Hi !
I found the way to do what you wan't, but it sounds a bit strange for me...
You have to put a field validation on the Account Id field. I made some tests to know what is in the AccountId field when it's blank and i see that the value is "No Match Row Id" !!
So your validation rule must be simply
*<> "No Match Row Id"*
It worked for me, the error message appears... But I think this is something we have to report to Oracle...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

  • Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

    Hi Guys,
    I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.
    Thanks

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any change?

  • F4 / Value Help on a Read-Only Field in a WD app

    Hi friends,
    I am struggling to put up a F4 help on an input field which has been set up as read-only. The idea is to have the field as read-only, and allow the user to select any value from the predefined values using F4/value help.
    Now, I get the F4 help working if the field is NOT in a read only mode, However, the moment I set it to READ ONLY , the F4 help vanishes.
    Is there a way to have the F4 help associated with the field even when the field is a read-only ?
    Thanks.

    Great Solution ! This works.
    However, there is a small problem with the usage of browsers. If you use Mozilaa/ Chrome, then even the 1 px width of dummy field show up. However with IE the 1 px does now not show up, so the F4 help comes up right next to the original field. But that is not something significant !

  • SPD Workflow - Update a hidden/read only field

    Hi there,
    I have a list with a hidden/read only field (ie Status).  So the user cannot update this field using the form or datasheet ...etc.
    I have an SPD workflow that I was hoping would modify the value of the Status field.  But it appears as though the option to modify it is not available as long as it is hidden and/or read-only.  Aka, the field doesn't show up in the list of fields
    to modify for the "Set field on current item" action.
    I was hoping to avoid importing this into a visual studio project and adding in code, which I believe would do the trick; so are there any solutions that I can do within SPD itself?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Eirc,
                       as i understand you question  you want to update hidden filed from workflow ? 
     solution 1 when workflow started it change field read only to false and after completing workflow
    change it again true.  by code.
    Solution 2 Use javascript to make the field read only on presentation.
    http://sputility.codeplex.com/ check this lib that might help you to manage readonly field on runtime
    Solution 3 : you achieve by setting column level permission 

  • Any difference in signature lock function, read-only field property, & signed tab "Mark as read-only

    Is there any real difference between
    1) simply setting a field to read-only in a custom script on the Signed tab of a signature field by:
    this.getField("field name").readonly = true;
    2) including the field in the "Mark as read-only: " list of fields on the Signed tab of a signature field
    and, 3) including the field in a call to the setLock() method of a signature field?
    As far as I can tell there isn't, but am I missing something? And if they are all the same, then since setLock() must execute in a priviledged context, it seems the harder way to get a read-only field.

    Hi Ron,
    It certainly sounds like you are on the right track.What version of Acrobat are you using, is it Pro or Standard, Mac or Win? I see where you mentioned the file was created in Acrobat X, but I'm not sure that the app that create the PDF file is the same version as the one you are using for editing.

  • How to make read only field in Task list?

    Hi All,
    How to make read only field in Task list?

    This can be done one of two ways:
    1. Customize the form in Infopath, right click your field and disable the control.
    2. Use JavaScript/jQuery on the page to disable the element.

  • Read only fields clear with for actions

    Read only fields that are populated via lov mappings clear when any button is pressed on the page. This only happens when the field is read only or disabled. Is this intended and if it is what is the workaround???

    The button must be a submit button.
    Readonly fields or messageStyledTexts are not formElements, that they can post the value back to the ViewObject. Hence they just pass empty value to the underlying VO, when pressed formSubmit. The empty value refreshes the UI when the page refreshes after submit.
    Workaround for this is to have formValuebean that has the same VO attribute and the same LOV mapping as the readOnly field or MessageStyledText. It will act as mirror to submit the values.

  • Read only field in data manager

    Hi,
    if we set a field permission as read only in console.
    in data manager this field will be read only.
    in import manager during process of import will this field be receiving value or it will be read only
    Sonali

    Hello,
    I tested (MDM 5.5 sp6) and if you import data, and for a read-only fied mapped, data can be created and updated ( import done with same role/user than the one with read/only rules)
    I haven't see this behaviour on documentation, but don't look as a trouble for me.
    If this role/user try to update from the data manager, it is not possible to update a read-only fied
    Hope helps you

  • Read Only Fields

    When a read only field is in a user role and the field is removed, the read only flag disappears.
    How can controls be implemented so that a role can not be added back in and the read only doesn't follow.
    It is important to have some fields read only and some edittable and they may change periodically.

    There is two ways to make a field "Read Only". (1) in step 2 of a Layout (2) Edit the field in the Field Setup.

  • Add instance on Read only field issue

    I have a subform with two fields , one a date field to capture current system date and time and another is a Text field for some comments.
    Then there are two buttons ,one for Adding the instance for these two fields and another is a Save button which makes these two fields
    The requirement is that once both the fields are filled with data and i click on save button, the fields should become read only ,however when i click on the add instance button the instance is added successfully but the save button click is not making the new instance read only.
    The Code for Add Instance Button is :
    "New1.FileNote.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
    xfa.form.recalculate(true);"
    The code for Save button to make the fields read only is :
    New1.FileNote.DateTimeField101.access = "readOnly";
    New1.FileNote.TextField37.access = "readOnly";
    Please guide me as I am totally blank on how to code the same..Have a rough logic of using a for loop with index of the Add Instance but not getting the way out for the code.
    Thanks a lot for any help and guidance.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your reply..I made it happen using the for loop with Index and resolve node. However there is another issue which occured after that..I have a date/time field in that repeating subform instance.
    The run time property is set to Current Date/Time. Now the issue is whenever i click on save, form.recalculate instance changes the existing time value in the previous subbform instance as well
    Is there a way to retain the existing value in the field of the previous instance ??

  • Upload a value in read-only field using Webservices or Workflow

    Can you please let me know if is feasible to upload a value into a read-only field using webservices or workflow
    If so, can you please provide an example?
    Thanks

    Using WS, you cant update the field value, if it is set as "Read-Only" @ the object - Field definition level, but you can update that using WS if it is set as "Read-Only" @ the layout level. Same applicable to Workflows too

  • Updating Read-Only Field

    All,
    We have some read-only fields (configured @ the page layout settings) in OnDemand edit form
    As per the business rule, the values for these fields has to be set externally using a weblink in the same form
    We are able set back the externally selected values in the OnDemand page to the read-only fields
    But when the user tries to save, the information it is not "Saved" in OnDemand database but it works fine if fields are "Editable"
    Is there a "Server Side" restriction in OnDemand which doesnt allow to update the moidfications on the client side to read-only field on "Save"?
    Are there any workarounds to solve this issue?
    Appreciate your inputs
    Regards,
    Venkatesan
    CRMIT

    Venky,
    If I understand you correctly, you're setting the field values on the client, pushing the values into the edit form. The layout read-only setting has to prevent that - that's what it's for. What you should be able to do is set the values on the back end, using a web service call.

    I have created a screen variant using(TA SHD0) but not sure what to do next. Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding this issue.
    Regards,
    Waqar

    Hy,
    You cannot use the Variants for all the screens in the EBP.
    The only screens where it is available are:
    Screen Variants:
    Item data overview in an invoice without purchase order reference: BBP_IV_NON_PO
    Item data overview in the invoice with purchase order reference: BBP_IV
    Item data overview in the confirmation: BBP_CF
    Item data overview in the confirmation for time recording: BBP_CF_TIMEREC
    Item data overview in the purchase order:  BBP_PO;
    Item data overview for contracts: BBP_CTR_ITEMLIST
    Item data overview for selection of contracts: BBP_CTR_ITEM_SELLIST
    Search results for entering an invoice and/or confirmation: BBP_SEARCH_PO
    Search results for entering a purchase order: BBP_SEARCH_SC
    Search results for displaying/processing an invoice: BBP_CHANGE_IV
    Search results for displaying/processing a confirmation: BBP_CHANGE_CF
    Search results for entering/displaying/processing/status of a shopping cart: BBP_SC;
    Worklist for Sourcing: BBP_SOCO_WL
    Work area in Sourcing: BBP_SOCO_GA
    For changes on the Acc.Assignement screens, you'll have to either change the templates (be carful, templates related to acct. assgnt. are duplicated for each transaction) or the ABAP screens.

  • This operation is not available for read only field 'Type MVF'

    Hi All,
    We are using OrderToCash PIP and we are on Siebel 8.1X.
    While Synching the customer from Ebiz to Siebel facing the following issues:
    Method 'WriteRecord' of business component 'Account' (integration component 'Account') for record with search specification '[Row Id] = "2d3434313239353"' returned the following error:"This operation is not available for read only field 'Type MVF'.(SBL-DAT-00402)"(SBL-EAI-04451)
    Please suggest us what steps to be done in Siebel.
    Thanks
    Maanasa

    First check the process why this is calling Account BC WriteRecord(). The field "Type MVF" might be read only and this sync process is trying to update this field which is read only. This is the reason for the error. Check the OM log / EAI Obj Manager Comp log (set log level to 5) and check.
