Hi all,

Hi,

Do you mean that you need to make it read-only in the edit form? If so, just set ReadOnly property in True in Forms Designer.

Hi,

no. The decision makers opens the form in edit mode. Then they select the name in the people picker field for approval and save the form. When the form is open again, the people picker field should be read only.

Best wishes

Then disable the field with JavaScript if it has a value:

Code: Select all

fd.field('User').control('ready', function() {
	if (fd.field('User').value().length > 0) {
	    fd.field('User').readonly(true);
	}
});
Where 'User' is the internal name of your people picker field.
