Fields on Form not locking / unlocking.

Posted on by JD_G

Hi all,

I'm rather new to Dynamics CRM an am running into the following issue: I removed the lock from some fields on a form. Now I want to add the lock again on one of these fields. It seems that I can't get any locks on any field anymore, no matter what I try. On the form in my solution, the field is displayed as locked, however in CRM it remains unlocked.

I've tried this multiple times. Of course I double checked if I saved and published.

Any thoughts on this?

Many Thanks!

Sorry for the late response, but your answer was very helpful. I was looking for the setting belonging to the "lock"-icon. In stead of using the option "lock", Microsoft decided to use "read only".

Thanks!

Hi,

By lock, did you mean making the field read only?

If yes, please check Field is Read-only property in field properties, as shown below:

The lock property you mentioned is to make sure field is not removed from the form (this is to avoid dependency issues). For instance, if you refer a field in Java Script and it is not available on the form, it will throw exception. Hence, we lock the field so we do not remove it accidentally.

Hope this solves your problem.

Best,

Wahaj

Thanks for your response! I'm not shure how to check if there's any java on the form, so I'm guessing this is not the case. Below are the steps I take:

First, here's how my form looks:

Second, here's the form in my solution. You'll notice there's a difference in locks on fields:

I then change some field locks (left, bottom):

I save and publish:

I refresh my browser and the form hasn't changed:

Any ideas?

Hello,

Do you checked if you have some javascript in the form that is locking the fields?

If is not the case, can you share here the steps and screenshots?
