Hi all

I have a how to question regarding how to lock fields so it is not possible to update them via the Excel online import feature. I tried locking the fields on entity level by using creating a business rule. But when I Export to Excel online it is still possible to change the values of the locked fields and reimport the changes. It seems like a design flaw that this is actually possible.

Any suggestions on how to lock the fields completely?

Hi,

If you lock the field in the form level it will work in the UI level only , so go for plugin or workflow.

If you have few user to check the you can create workflow on change of fields (Select the fields ) and check modified by user , if its matches then stop workflow .
