- QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainAre you trying to limit editing of a particular field or the whole record?
- AndrewOrnerQrew CadetJust one field- so a user could add a record to the Customer table with Name field: ABC Inc.. However, that same user wouldn't be able to change the Name. Fields like Address, Phone, etc would ok to modify.
We're using a report from this table to update a SQL database, and I need the Name field to remain consistent once created. - QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainI would make a formula numeric field called [Record ID# mirror] with a formula of [Record ID#]
Then make a dynamic form rule
when [Record ID# mirror] > 0
make read only [customer name]
In Add mode that field will be zero or maybe blank. But once saved, then the name field will not be editable. however, that will not prevent Grid Edit.
That would be a separate question. - AndrewOrnerQrew CadetThanks! I ended up using a form rule: when date created is on or before the current date then make read-only Company Name
Is not ideal that users can still change customer names in grid edit, but it's a start.
