How to disable a field after Save with out closing the form in CRM365

I would like to disable a field after first save.

The case is:

I have an application form which has application type(Picklist).
The moment I save the Application I want to disable the Application Type so users can not change it.

I put a function on the form load to disable the Application Type if Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() != 1

This works correctly if I save and close the application record and reopen it again and Application Type field will be disabled.

The problem that I have is for the first Save. If user saves the record and do not close the form, the application Type field will not be disabled :(. I debugged the code it and after record is saved the onload event of the form will be kicked again but the form type is still 1 (which is create).

Any help how can I achieve this will be really appreciated!

Please note that my Legacy rendering in the system setting is set to yes as well.

You should be able to achieve this using an onchange JavaScript event on the createdon or modifiedon field

If you add an onchange method for this field it should fire after the record is first saved, and using some appropriate logic you should be able to set the field as read only

Hi Maryam. Not sure why the form type is still 1, I'll double check and let you know. In this case, you may want to try adding a function for OnSave event in the form and apply the same logic to disable the Application Type.

Rather than putting the function onLoad of the form, would putting it onSave of the form not work?

Hi,

I would simply call the function on the onload event if the Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() != 1 and always call it in the onsave event.

It should do the trick

Yes, Joseph answer is relevant for me. Usually I will add modified on in hidden section and I will register modified on change to call Form_OnLoad function in Javascript. The logic behind that is when you save the form, plugin will trigger and come back to the UI to change the values that changes on plugin (in this case modifiedon).
