how to make standard filed with id searchid in the item record disabled

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To disable a standard field with id
searchid
in the item record, you can use the
Field.updateDisplayType
method in a User Event Script or Client Script. This method allows you to change the display type of a field, including disabling it. Here is a sample code snippet:
Copy code
javascript
function beforeLoad(context) {
    if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE)
        return;

    var form = context.form;
    var field = form.getField({
        id: 'searchid'
    });

    field.updateDisplayType({
        displayType: serverWidget.FieldDisplayType.DISABLED
    });
}
In this code,
beforeLoad
is a User Event Script trigger that runs before the record is loaded. It checks if the context type is not
CREATE
, and if so, it returns without making any changes. If the context type is
CREATE
, it gets the form and the field with id
searchid
, and then it updates the display type of the field to
DISABLED
. Please note that this will only disable the field when a new record is being created. If you want to disable the field in other contexts (e.g., when editing an existing record), you will need to adjust the context type check accordingly. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
