Is there a way to prevent a user from being able to click on linked fields in a report or form?

Question

I'm creating a customer portal and want them to be able to see reports from their dashboard and drill down to the report but I do not want them to be able to click on fields that are linked to display the detail records. Is there a way to do that without having to create separate "like" fields just for them that do not display as a link to detail records? I can set the role permissions on the fields to View Only but they are still able to click on the linked field and drill down.

Go to field properties-&gt;uncheck "Display as a link to the related record".Cheers

... I don't think that there is a Role setting to prevent drilling down into a summary field, by Role, hence, mirror fields will be required.&nbsp;

Can't uncheck "Display as a link..." as other users need to be able to drill down. Guess I'll have to create mirrored fields. QBase should make this an option. :)

I think I've solved my own issue - I've done this a long time ago: create a cross-application relationship and just have those fields and look-up fields from my main app and not linkable. Do you think this is an option?

Sorry, I'm not understanding your proposed solution.&nbsp; How does this solve the issue of different behavior by Role and where does cross app come into this.&nbsp; Are there multiple apps here?_
