Making a field read-only in the view

Another basic question I'm afraid...

I'm trying to force an int field to read only (dependent upon various conditions). However, I'm not having any luck. Is there a way to either alter the vardef metadata in a view (custom edit view) - or by altering the model?

I've had various attempts such as:

this.fields[testArrayIndex].action="disabled";

this.fields[testArrayIndex].def.readonly=true;

this.fields[testArrayIndex].fieldDefs.readonly = true;

where testArrayIndex is the index for the field in question. The above is what appears to be set when the main field metadata has readonly = true defined. However, as I want this to be conditional on the state of the app, I can't use the server metadata for this.

Thanks

Hi!
What kind of view are you using in this case?
I mean is it ListView, EditView, DetailView, etc?

Hi, Steven
Your code didn't work for you because Nomad actually prepares and uses displayFields property to hold field definitions that will be used to instantiate and render fields. You can find it documented in JSDoc
So to make field readonly you can add following snippet in either initialize or onBeforeRender methods of your view like so:
onBeforeRender() {
this.displayFields[1].readonly = true;
this._super();

Ofc, replace [1] with your actual logic
Hope this helps! Eugene

Hi Eugene Bychkov,
Thank you for your detail explanation. We were able to achieve task using above steps but it's not applicable to dependent dropdown. Do you have any idea how to make dependent drop down as readonly.
Thanks.
