Sharepoint list form

Hi, How can I add a view only textbox in Sharepoint list form? Please guide ! 

  • Bd2023-b That's what I am telling you. You cannot add non-editable column on list forms using SharePoint out of the box options.

     

    To make the form fields non-editable, you will have to customize the form using Power Apps and then make it non-editable using Power Apps formulas.

    1. If you are going to input the data in the column from "new form" of list and you want to show that view only on display & edit forms, you can customize the list form and set Display Mode property of the field control/data card to DisplayMode.View in case of display/edit form.

     

    Check: 

    1. Customize a Microsoft Lists or SharePoint form by using Power Apps 
    2. Edit form and Display form controls in Power Apps 

    2. If you just want to add/show informative message at the top/bottom of list form, you can use the JSON formatting to add the text.

     

    Check: Configure the SharePoint list form 

     

    3. If you want to show the informative message for particular column on the list form, you can add description to your column from column settings:

      ganeshsanap - Thanks . I am using the Listform not power app. I am created a form and calculating a score through power automate and putting it to sharepoint list column. When I click the Edit/New Form I don’t want any one put any value in that textbox. Rather than they just view it/no edit allowed.
