ability to make a field Read-Only as soon as a value is saved within the field
Hello-
What would be the easiest way to have a field, that is initially Read-Write to end users UNTIL they enter data into it?
It would be a date field.
We essentially want to lock the field down, from further edits, once data is entered.
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you,
SB
Using a field update, you could switch Record Types after the field is populated and the associated page layout has that field set to read-only.
Or you write an Apex trigger to prevent that field from being changed once its populated - but this won't prevent the data from being entered in the UI.
