Hello, using a client script, is it possible to disable a field (or entire column) of the item sublist on an Estimate? I've tried with Suitescript 1.0 and 2.0 to no avail. Only the newline is disabled but not the ones that already contain values :disappointed: . Thanks!

If I'm not wrong you could do it using a BeforeLoad UE script, I think I did this in the past.

Thanks <@U5L945PD5>, I'll give that a try.

`context.form.getSublist('salesteam').getField('contribution').updateDisplayType({ displayType: serverWidget.FieldDisplayType.HIDDEN });`

The above code run on sales orders and opp, look in the doc for the disable, I was using the `.HIDDEN` option.

<@U5L945PD5> Did not work. It does disable the newline field (item field in my case) but it will still let you click/edit the fields in other lines that already have a value in it. I've spent like 4 hours and tried 3 different scripts, 1 of those in SuiteScript 1.0  and still don't get it :headbang:. Maybe it is not possible to disable a sublist field if it already has a value in it?

```const beforeLoad = (scriptContext) =&gt; {

            try {
                    log.debug('Disabling...','');
                    scriptContext.form.getSublist('item').getField('item').updateDisplayType({ displayType: serverWidget.FieldDisplayType.DISABLED });
                    log.debug('Disabled?','');
                
            } catch (error) {
                log.debug("error" , error);
            } 
        }```

I see, I just did a quick search in suiteanswers, it says the postSourcing might be affecting, check this link: <https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/66632/loc/en_US>

This is an. approach using a client script.

in 2.0 check this: <https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/34362/loc/en_US>

Thanks, I'll give those a try. If that works I'm buying you a coffee.

netsuite will undisable a field that it sources

Yeah <@U5TF1GQ20>. That's gotta be it. This worked:
```function clientPageInit(type){
	
	console.log("Init");
    nlapiSetLineItemDisabled('item','item',true);
}

 /**
  *
  * @param type
  * @param name
  */
 function clientPostSourcing(type, name) {
    nlapiSetLineItemDisabled('item','item',true);
}


 /**
  *
  * @param type
  */
 function clientLineInit(type) {
    nlapiSetLineItemDisabled('item','item',true);
}```

I have to clean things up and figure out where to put it, also rewrite in 2.0 maybe.

<@U5L945PD5> Send me you paypal or w/e via DM, I'm buying you that coffee.

<@U5TF1GQ20> Want one to? You are a fountain of knowledge and I see you helping a lot around here.

<@U5TF1GQ20> Cool. Thanks a lot for your help, nevertheless.
