How set readOnly dynamically in record.js?

You should be able to adapt this Gist to do what you want:

Custom record view controller for setting entire record to read-only conditionally · GitHub

They key is to add the field name into the "noEditFields" array.

Thank you Angel Magana. This is work!

Hi Angel Magaña

How can i set Editable
Sugarcrm 7.6 if i convert Lead then Status is no editable but i want that can be Edit.
How can i do ??

Do you know how I could apply this to the Revenue Line Item create subpanel view.  So when you are on an Opportunity Create screen and adding Revenue Line items via the subpanel I need to be able to make fields on that view read only or editable based on an on change event.

You should look at doing that via a custom dependency.

See here for more info:

Hi
This code works for me in 7.8 when I pause it at breakpoints. However it appears that this javascript is running before the model has been loaded, hence I get
 this.model.attributes.sales_status is undefined
When I run it without breakpoints.

When I insert a breakpoint and type in the javascript console
this.model.attributes.sales_status
It comes up with "Closed Won", but when I have
console.log(this.model.attributes.sales_status)
it just prints undefined.
Is there a way to make sure this only runs once the model has been fully loaded?

Also is it preferred to set fields to readonly using this method or sugarlogic dependencies?

You would want to wait for the data:sync:complete event to fire.

Here is an example of its use:

Custom record view controller, changes CSS on a given field based on number of subpanel child records linked to current … 

Thanks for the reply. When should I use this method of making fields readonly vs using sugarlogic and custom dependencies? Or is there no real difference?

There definitely is a difference. This particular approach is only feasible if you are only concerned about the behavior of the field within the main web app and only within that specific view. In other words, that same field would appear as an editable field were you to look at it via SugarCRM Mobile.

Likewise, this approach has some greater flexibility in other areas when compared to dependencies. For example, you could examine the current user and determine whether the field should or shouldn't be read only based solely off of that.

In short, there are some trade-offs with each approach and Mobile tends to be the area of concern. If you are not using Mobile (or don't plan on doing so), which option you choose is a lesser concern.

Thanks for helping us.

I've got the follwing code to make the fields read-only mode. It used to work on versions before 7.8.

I've added the this._renderHtml and this._renderFields to get part of it work.

Once you open the record (in this case an Opportunity) and the condition is true, the Cancel, Save and Edit buttons are visible, all at the same time.

What would be the best approach to make it work properly?

({
   extendsFrom: 'RecordView',
   initialize: function (options) {
   this._super('initialize', [options]);
   this.model.on('data:sync:complete', this.readOnlyFieldsOpp, this);
},

_renderHtml: function(options) {
   this._super("_renderHtml", [options]);
},

readOnlyFieldsOpp: function() {
   var readonly = this.model.get('opp_readonly_c');

   this._render();
   if (readonly === true){
   _.each(this.model.fields, function(field) {
   if (field.name != "opp_readonly_c"){
   this.noEditFields.push(field.name);
   }
   },this);
   this._renderHtml();
   this._renderFields();
   }
   },

})
