Setting Entity Field Read-Only on Portal page form

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello Community,

I have created a custom portal, linked to a Dynamics 365 instance. On the portal page, I have a form for submission which would then create a Lead record in Dynamics. Does anyone know if there is a way without applying custom codes (if possible) to make a field read-only on the portal page form? It appears even if the field is read-only on the entity form in Dynamics, it's still editable on the portal page.

Any pointers would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hi, if you have it set as read-only in CRM form this should reflect in the Portals, have you make sure to publish/clear cache/clear config?

if you need in a dynamic way, you can set via JS:
$("#firstname").attr("readonly", true);

@Sumaira the Portal entities have a Custom JavaScript field and that's where you place your JS code
usually you can add the JS in Entity List / Web Page (localized webpage, non-root) / Entity Form / Web Form Step
there are a few more places you can add but those are the most common

Hi Oliver

The
$("#fieldname").attr("readonly", false/true) does not work on Drop down attribute.. its converted the control box to grey but the user can still click and see the values in the list and change etc.

If I disable the control then the value in it is set to Blank on the save of the form.

Thanks
Bik

Hi bik,

there's a way to disable drop down attribute as well. Below line of code will disable all drop down attributes on web page.

$('.control').find("select").prop("disabled","disabled");
