Using JavaScript to lock a form or a section

Posted on by MCerpa

I have a form with a fair amount of JavaScript on it to ensure that only the proper fields are shown, which means that there are 60+ fields on this form and only 5 or 6 visible at a time. I'm saying this because making a business rule to lock all the fields based on a variable is not really feasible, especially since we'll be adding/removing fields as the needs for this form change.

So how can I use JavaScript to lock all the fields or lock the section they're in? I can't make the form Inactive or it won't show in the view, but the criteria is that if the parent form is turned on, I want this form locked so it can't be edited.

Thanks!

Hi @MCerpa,

Yes it's possible to hide the section in your Form using JavaScript

can you try this ?

function hideSection(formContext, your tab name, your sectionName) { var tab = formContext.ui.tabs.get(tabName); // Use this to get the tab name if (tab == null) { console.log("Tab: " + tabName + " not found"); return; } var section = tab.sections.get(sectionName); // Use this to get the section if (section == null) { console.log("Section: " + sectionName + " not found"); return; } section.setVisible(false); //=> Now this permit you to hide your section }

You must then add your web resources in the On load and on save events.

Please mark answer as verified if that's help.
