I am trying to find a way to make field locked out from further updates if today is the end of the month and I am trying to make field locked out from further updates if the field in the form has been updated.

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Firstly the way to "lock out" a form would be to change its Mode - so looking at the circumstances you have described.

    You would have to define what constitutes "updated" - if you mean a something changed during the month, the best way would be to use the Modified property of the record. The end of the month is a formula as below.

    Firstly, put a custom card on the form and Insert two labels. Call one TodayMonth with the formula

    Month(Today())

    Call the other ModDate with this

    Month(Modified)

    So putting it all together in the DisplayMode of the form

    If(
     TodayMonth = ModDate || 
     Today() = DateAdd(
     DateAdd(
     Date(
     Year(Today()),
     Month(Today()),
     1
     ),
     1,
     Months
     ),
     -1,
     Days
     ),
     FormMode.View,
     FormMode.Edit
    )
