I don't believe this functionality is possible, but this community comes up with a lot of sneaky work-arounds...

I have a form with a dynamic rule that makes some fields read only, based off another selection. This of course doesn't work in grid edit mode. Has anyone come up with a sneaky way around this? (My use case, the grid edit where users can get around this is in a report link)

I'm thinking perhaps I can have two report links, one that shows editable fields, and one that either shows formula fields (or I can make a grid edit form with read only fields), and then use a dynamic form rule to hide the appropriate report link.

I think that should work, but wondering if there are other creative solutions.

I often find myself making Mirror fields which are simply formula equivalents of data entry fields, in order to put them on a grid edit embedded report on a form and thus prevent data entry into those fields.
