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,

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.
Regards,
AO.

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 -
Key flexfield - protecting one of the segment as NON-UPDATABLE/ READ-ONLY
Key Flexfield setup for "People Group Flexfield" consists of seeg1,seg2,seg3,seg4.
We would like to make Seg1 of this flexfield "READ ONLY" / "DISPLAY ONLY" / "Non-Updatable".
Please advise possible way of making this functionality.
I have tried, following but no luck :
1) Limitations of Forms Personalization [ID 420518.1]
Forms Personalization is not possible for any key flexfield structure or segments.
This is a limitation of Forms Personalization on Flexfield. There was an enhancement request Bug 5506506 - "PERSONALIZE FLEXFIELDS BY USING FORMS PERSONALIZATION" but it was rejected the enhancement request as this is not feasible. A Flexfield is a single field in a form but then when you click into it and it opens up the flexfields window, the multiple fields you see is actually a user exit with multi segment values, not form fields. No Form Personalization events are passed to flexfield windows (user exits). No Form Personalization events are passed to segments inside the flexfield window (user exit).
2) Key Flexfield Security Rules Enabled
Defining security rules on any segment in key flexfield makes all segments as read only. Per Oracle Document:"Defining security rule on key flexfield combination on one or more segments allows all segments to be not updatable"In SSHR, I believe it is possible although I have not done it before, I have spoken to people who have.
You need to have access to jDeveloper and be able to open up the SSHR page in question. Find the internal ID of the flex item within the SSHR page in question.
Then you create a new item in personalization and set that new item to have the same ID as you retrieved from jDeveloper. Make that item read only and configured the 'default' flex to not show the segment in question.
That is basically the way this can be achieved but it is not straightforward and requires a cursory understanding of OAF.
I do not know if it is possible to do this in the PUI. Would be interested to know requirement behind essentially showing a static read only field in a professional form - can the admins not be trusted to leave it alone? One workaround would be coding a user hook or custom library to error if that field is updated. Not read only but would stop those pesky Administrators meddling with it! -
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?
ThanksUsing 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

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
MaanasaFirst 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.

Search help overwrite a read-only field
Hi, I have some problems with search help and hope someone can help me.
My search helps (either standards or customs) work perfectly, but a strange behaviour
occur on Read-Only fields. If I open the Search Help popup and select a value, it overwrite the
READ-ONLY value !!!!!
Hope you can help.Depending on the support pack level you are on - search helps - freely programmed or otherwise don't seem to trigger off read only fields (I noticed this when we moved to NW7.01)
I've got around this by making the field a link to action - providing the read only link I want as the text, and then calling the following code:
call method cl_wdr_value_help_handler=>handle_application_def_vh
exporting
context_element = context_element
component_usage_name = 'JOB_SELECTION'
context_attribute = 'JOB'.
Where component 'JOB_SELECTION' is my freely programmed value help - implementing WD interface IWD_VALUE_HELP.
This was helpful as I wanted the search help to trigger and the user to be able to update the field but only by using the search help - I didn't want the user to be able to write anything in the field.
it was a particular use case I had - it may or may not fit your needs.
Cheers, Chris -
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

David KellyWhen 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

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 !

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.

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. -
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.

SonaliHello,
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
