How to know if an added field is editable or not

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 230
Hi,
 
Many fields are able to be added to a page by Customize Pages on Profile(Role).
But there are fields not editable by default. For example Description 2 field in Project (or Job) is not editable by default.
I would like to know if there is a way to find out which field is editable or non-editable by default.
 
Does anyone have the infomation about it? Please let me know.
 
This isn't about Design tool in Sandbox.
 
Thank you.

    Hi, one possible way to determine if a specific field is editable or non-editable by default. You can Check if the "Lock editing" option is available.  If the option is not available, the field is non-editable by default.

    Hi, unfortunately, as far as I know there is no way, we will only know after adding it. . . .
    It can be confirmed from the VS code, but some changes depending on conditions.
     
    Thanks.
