LOCK A FIELD OR ENTIRE RECORD FOR BULK UPLOAD
Hi! We have some data that can't be changed once it's been deemed "completed", but we often work in bulk updates because of the amount of data that changes for each record.

Records, yes. Fields, possibly, but I don't think so. Also, if you were able to set something up, and then attempted to update that record via an upload, you'll get an error. If you're doing the upload through the UI, any errors like that would be caught before anything was actually uploaded and nothing would get updated. If you're doing something with the API to upload the data, I would think that you would need to build in additional logic in that upload process to determine if something CAN be updated before attempting to update a record.

Hi Blake,
how would I do this? I'm not using an API to upload the data. Just copy/paste usually.
Thanks!
