Hi,

You can use Business Rule to disable field on the form based on condition.

Hi bp3378,

In the business rule, you can use 'Lock/Unlock' components to lock/unlock the field based on one condition:

In the form,you can see a lock icon in front of the field label if the conditions are met:

When you hover over the field, the field will be greyed out.

Hello,

You can make your field as "Gray out" or "Ready only" using 2 ways.

1. JavaScript

2. Business Rule

If you want some basic conditions/checks then you can use the Business rule but there are some limitations with the Business rule like it will not do advanced condition checks, for that you can use the JavaScript.

Also don't be confused between Read only and Locked Field.

Thank you,
