Is there a way to lock/disable the timeline on a case when it's resolved?

So my question is whether I can disable or prevent someone from adding activities or notes on a timeline when a case is resolved. I saw you can use javascript to disable controls and it seems like setDisabled works for timelines.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/controls

I tried adding it to my script and set it on form load:

var Namespace = Namespace || {};// Lock timeline functionNamespace.lockTimeline = function (executionContext){    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();    var formStatus = formContext.ui.getFormType();    if (formStatus === 4 || formStatus === 3) {      var timeline = formContext.getControl(/Timeline/);        // disable timeline        timeline.setDisabled(true);        // Check timeline is disabled        var timelineDisabled = timeline.getDisabled();        console.log(timelineDisabled); // This returns true but I can still edit and add things to the timeline    }};

It doesn't seem to work. Would I have to create plugin to perform this task?

Kind regards,

Mike

Hi Partner,

When you resolve the case, the case form will be read-only and all controls(included Timeline) on the form will be disables.

However, we can continue to add activities and notes even if the timeline is disabled, which seems to be by design!

So we need some other way to stop users from creating activities and notes on resolved cases, the disable timeline approach doesn't work.

Through workflow? Maybe give it a try.

--Condition: check regarding case status:

--Stop workflow: Canceled:

Save and Active.

Test:

I hope you can verify my answer if it helps you! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Leah

It's been 2 years since this post, timelinewall control still does not support setDisabled.

Why does the documentation still suggest it's supported?
