Question

Can you make a detail not editable?

Hello, community!

I am wondering if there is any way in which you can make a detail inactive/ non editable. So basically if a condition is met, to not let the user add more records into a detail. How can I achieve this?

Thank you :)

This shows how to make a detail read only in all cases:

Or you can conditionally make it read only:

Or conditionally read only based on the selected row:

Hello,

 

You can set up this logic with the help of Business Rules. You can get more information on how to set them up in this Academy article (to set up rules in Section Wizard) or this article (to set them up in Freedom UI).

If this is not quite what you were looking for, please describe the question in more detail.

 

Best regards,

No, I cannot. I can either hide ALL the detail, or nothing. Business rule "Make field editable" contains only Field/Attribute, I cannot find the detail object in there. What I need is to deactivate the detail based on a condition. Basically just to display the records that I already have, but no more adding or editing.
