Hello
There is one field that should be non-editable for all user except one person, basically the admin.
To make a field non-editable we make use of -- Editable=false
can we write code on editable like as follows to make it change it behavior based on the logged in user?
editable= If(LoggedInUser = Admin)
                   then true
                   else false
 
Or is there a better way to achieve same functionality.
 
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

    Hi, just use a variable to control the Editable property of this field.
    More details:
     
    PS: Deprecating InDataSet attribute used for global variables in Pages (The InDataset attribute is unused)
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
