Can you make a dropdown DisplayMode.View?

I have a screen with several drop downs. I want to have 2 of the drop downs to only be editable if it is AwaitingARApproval.

Here's the screen.

On the dropdown, I have added the following code but it is still editable.

Is there a way I can make the dropdown look like it is if it's in FormMode.View? I have already watched Shane's video on form mode, but it was for the whole form, not just individual cards.

In my opinion the easiest way is to hide the dropdown and display a text label when "AwaitingARAApproval" is not showing.

To do this is to make a new label with the Text property having the code:

drpDown_paymentTermsCode.Selected.Value

Position the label directly over top of the dropdown. Then change the Visible property of the dropdown to this

If(ThisItem.'Work Flow Status' <> "AwaitingARAApproval", true, false)

Then click on the dropdown control and change its Visible property to this

If(ThisItem.'Work Flow Status' = "AwaitingARAApproval", true, false)

Repeat this method for your second dropdown as well.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Could you please share a bit more about the data source used in your app? Is it a SP List or a CDS Entity?

Could you please show more details about the 'Work Flow Status' column in your data source?

1. If the data source you used in your app is a SP List, and the 'Work Flow Status' column is a Choice type column:

Set the DisplayMode property of the two Dropdown boxes to following:

If( ThisItem.'Work Flow Status'.Value = "AwaitingARApproval",
DisplayMode.Edit,
DisplayMode.View )

2. If the data source you used in your app is a CDS Entity, and the 'Work Flow Status' column is a Option Set type column:

Set the DisplayMode property of the two Dropdown boxes to following:

If( ThisItem.'Work Flow Status' = OptionSetName.AwaitingARApproval,
DisplayMode.Edit,
DisplayMode.View )

Note: The OptionSetName represents the OptionSet, which is related to the 'Work Flow Status' field in your CDS Entity.

Please take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
