Lock a field after data has been entered

Hello,

I am looking for a way to lock a field after data has been entered into the field. I thought field-level security but I did not see the correction action that is needed. One User is responsible for creating the record and filling in most of the generic information another user is then responsible for the rest of the record. As they did not create the record giving them update access defeats the purpose we are trying to achieve.

I tried doing a business rule but could not get it to function correctly. As it would lock on form load. As I tried to set it to if the field contains data lock but it must pick up a NULL as containing data. Thinking my only option might be javascript.

Thanks.

I would suggest you to use JS function to disable field after data entered in field, just make sure about data validation with the help of JS confirmation and on once confirmed do lock field.

Separate the segments for both of the teams. One section for the team who creates the record, one section for another team. Write a javascript on create and update of the record, then enable or disable the whole segment

Hi,

Try using Field Security profile.

That will give you what you are looking for.
