Hi Maddy

Did you tried using the time out option. Try tweaking around the time out value (here it is 200)  and increase or decrease depends on the performance of your environment.


var isItemLocked = thisItem.isLocked();

var transfer_date = getFieldByName("transfer_date");

disableDateField = function() {
if(isItemLocked)
{
transfer_date.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].setAttribute("disabled", "");
transfer_date.getElementsByTagName("input")[1].setAttribute("disabled", "");
transfer_date.getElementsByTagName("input")[1].src = "../images/calendar-disabled.svg";
}};
setTimeout(disableDateField, 200);

It works well in my environment

Thank You

Gopi

      Hi Maddy

      Timeout will allows a function to be called after a certain number of milliseconds has passed. In this case the function will be called after 200 milliseconds (Allowing the browser page to load and calling the function to disable the field)

      Thanks
