Question

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

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->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.

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?
