I am trying to disable the ITEM field on the ITEM ...

10/29/2021, 1:44 PMI am trying to disable the ITEM field on the ITEM sublist on a sales order form. I seem to be able to make any field except that one inline with a “Before user edit” event …. while other fields get set to inline properly, when I try to set the item field there is no reaction at all. Any ideas?

10/29/2021, 2:23 PMGood point…. this would be on edit only to prevent the user from CHANGING the item. they can change QTY or Price but NOT the item itself.

10/29/2021, 2:46 PMThere are other fields that don't work with suiteflow (to change display type) - amount being one of them.

10/30/2021, 10:40 AMfollowing up on this, I have since found that even in script I could not disable the item field. I can hide it with a UE script which was a surprise to me I expected to do this in a client script but that did not work at all. Final solution that I don’t love. I created a Non stored value field called “Item Name” this is an inline display type field, Default value of the item field. Before load user event script hides the new field unless the script mode is edit then it hides the item field effectively making it appear be the item field Disabled. It feels like a hack but it does seem to work.
