Hide field in Power Pages form if it contains data

Posted on by Hagru

Hello!

I would like to hide a lookup field from the profile page form once it contains data.

After the user is registered, they are forced to complete their profile, and one of these fields is a lookup to the account table that sets the company of the contact. I don't want the user to be able to change it after it is set. Initially I wanted the field to be available in the registration form, but that seems borderline impossible. The next best thing I can think of right now is to hide or lock the field once it contains data.

I tried adding a Business Rule to the form and field, and thought that must be it! Unfortunately the Business Rule does not trigger when the user makes a change on their profile page, so the field will not be hidden, no matter which configuration I build.

Is it possible to hide the field if it contains data?

You need to apply JS on the Portal to achieve this

Hi @OliverRodrigues
I came across your article when looking for a way to do this, but I still feel like I am missing some pieces.

First thing is, it's a Profile form. Where do I navigate to add custom JS to this form in the first place?
Second is, I don't want to hide the field until it has been submitted with data. How can I check this, and hide it appropriately?

EDIT:
Nevermind, I figured the first step out, and I am successful in adding JavaScript to hide the field. I would still like to get some input into how I can hide, or even better, make it readonly once it is submitted with data. The field is a lookup, and is required, and I am forcing the user to fill it after initially creating their account.
