Disable more than one text field on the form

Hi Community,

I am using a code from the "Disable Form Fields"-blog (https://community.aras.com/b/english/posts/disable-form-fields/) in one of my methods. In the test phase I realized that the code for the text field only works on one field.

I tried to call all the required fields in the brackets, but it always used only one field:

var input = getFieldByName("part", "part_number", "quantity");
input.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = true;

How can I easily disable multiple fields at the same time on the form?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards

David

    Hi David

    You can try something like below

    var columnsName = ["part", "part_number","quantity"];
    var setFieldDisabled = function(fieldName)
    {
    for (i = 0; i < fieldName.length; i++)
    {
    var input = getFieldByName(fieldName);
    input.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = true;
    }
    };
    setFieldDisabled(columnsName);
    return this;
    I'm not sure what version of ARAS you are using but below lines does not work for my version.
    var input = getFieldByName(fieldName);
    input.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = true;
     
    So I replaced this two lines with below line and it works.
     
    document.forms.MainDataForm.elements[fieldName].disabled = true;
     
     
    Thank You
