Creating Blank Accounts from Read Only Form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Our user base will not be creating Accounts as they are sourced from another system, so the form has most of the fields set as Read Only.  We recently noticed that we are able to select new, open that form, and then hit save and it creates the record with NO DATA entered.  No Account Name or anything.  I'm not sure why the basic validation is just not firing.  This shouldn't be a problem in the future as our users will not have Create Account rights anyway, but it's a little concerning.  Not sure if we've discovered a bug or something.

Thanks!

    Hi Chris,

      I believe it's how it should be. If you have a readonly field, it would not make sense for Dynamics to validate such field - there would be no way for the user to make any changes if validation fails.
