Disabling/Enabling form fields via server side methods

Offline BalaViz over 3 years ago

Hi everyone!

I am quite new to Aras Innovator, and getting to know the environment more day by day. Does any of you know how to enable/disable form fields via a serverside method that could be triggered after an item passes a activity on a workflow?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Balaji

Hi Balaji You can write a JavaScript method and add to form events to disable / enable field based on state of an item. Refer this post : https://community.aras.com/b/english/posts/disable-form-fields…

Hi Balaji

Refer this post : https://community.aras.com/b/english/posts/disable-form-fields/#:~:text=Dropdown%20Fields&text=In%20SP11%2B%2C%20Aras%20introduced%20support,to%20completely%20disable%20the%20dropdown.

Example Pseudo code (based on state, you can hide fields).

Event : on Form Populated in form

Method:

var itemState = aras.getItemProperty(parent.item, "state");

alert(itemState);

if(itemState == "Preliminary")

{

// Disabling Fields of type Item. For other data type refer the link

setTimeout(function(){

getFieldByName("owned_by_id").getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = true;

getFieldByName("owned_by_id").getElementsByTagName("button")[0].disabled = true;

}, 1);

}

else

{

// Disabling Fields of type Item. For other data type refer the link

setTimeout(function(){

getFieldByName("owned_by_id").getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = false;

getFieldByName("owned_by_id").getElementsByTagName("button")[0].disabled = false;

}, 1);

}

Thank You
