Readonly filed on List View

The easiest way to apply readonly only to a single view is to edit the view's definition.

So in your 

custom/modules/<module>/clients/base/views/list/list.php

find the filed in question, and add: 

'readonly'=>true

as one of the properties.

For example, you can see in the stock Accounts list view, the date_entered is read only.

This particular field happens to be readonly in all the views but there is nothing stopping you from setting it only on the list.php and not the record, create. preview etc.

                array (
                    'name' => 'date_entered',
                    'type' => 'datetime',
                    'label' => 'LBL_DATE_ENTERED',
                    'enabled' => true,
                    'default' => true,
                    'readonly' => true,
                ),

If, on the contrary, you want the field to be readonly across all views, you should do that via Studio:

Thank you Francesca Shiekh  i have applied the above approach, and it is working fine for me, but i need to apply on preview also, because it is still editable in preview mode,
however you already mentioned that this is working on on list view.


please note, my custom field type is TextField

So you used Studio to set the field to read only but it is still editable in Preview?

I'm not able to reproduce that in Enterprise v12. What version are you working with?

currently i'm using Sugar (version 10.0.2)

could you please suggest about conditionally readonly field

for example: if 'status' = abc then 'custom field' should readonly.

You can define a ReadOnly condition by using Dependency Actions
