Custom API - Editable

Posted on by 35
Hello all,
 
I am creating a custom api page and have the following requirments 
 
1) on a POSTto create the new record i need the ability to include information for all fields example 
{
firstname: "John",
lastname: "Doe",
Age: "5",
}
 
After the record is created i want to be able to issue a PATCH command to update the age
{
age="6"
}
 
this works correctly 
QUESTION: How do i limit the patch so that only age can be updated but not first or last name, so the below should error
{
firstname: "Bob",
lastname: "Doe",
Age: "5",
}
1)Setting the editable property on the field seems to prevent entering data on the Original post

    Hi
    According to our colleague, you can be guided by some examples like the following one in which based on conditionals in the validate event you can verify what you mention, or generate errors.

    Hi, I think writing some control code on trigger OnValidate() will do the trick.
     
    For example, 
    if Age <> '' then
    error('You can  not modify first or last name')
     
    Hope this can give you some hints.
    Thanks.
