Bussiness Process flow stage as read only

Posted on by 170

I want to make the field of the stages in BPF as read only. Is it possible?

Also Can we disable next and previous button in stage of BPF? 

I am using Dynamics 365 Unified Interface.

Thank you

Regards

    Hi!

    You can disable (lock/make read-only any field on a stage of a BPF and you have two options:

    First option using Business Rules:

    Create business rules and recommendations to apply logic in a model-driven app form

    docs.microsoft.com/.../create-business-rules-recommendations-apply-logic-form

    A scenario with Business Rules is described here:

    Making a Field Read-only On a Business Process Flow

    www.magnetismsolutions.com/.../making-a-field-read-only-on-a-business-process-flow

    Second option using JavaScript:

    setDisabled (Client API reference)

    docs.microsoft.com/.../setdisabled

    Controls collection (Client API reference)

    docs.microsoft.com/.../controls-collection

    A third party article of this:

    How to apply script on Header fields and BPF fields

    www.inogic.com/.../

    Finally, disabling the next and previous buttons is NOT supported. A workaround is to make a field or all fields mandatory so users can't go next, but nothing can be done not to go to the previous stage.

    Regards.
