Unable to add a view only textbox to sharepoint list form
Hi , I tried different approach but unable to mark the text box view only in sharepoint list form ? Any way to do it with Json ? I am asking as this field should not be updated by user . Note: Question was related to sharepoint list form not power apps.
- Kelly_Edinger - THANKS , thanks for helping . I thought that if we have a way in Json to do that. I think you are correct we don’t a way in Sharepoint online to do it right now. good discussion and thanks again.
- I don't see any JSON options for this, and if you're not adding Power Apps, then your best bet may be to use a Lookup Column that pulls in that field from another list where most of your users have Read Only access. I know it doesn't sound ideal, but it could work.
Kelly_Edinger - In this case it’s a % score calculated through power automate and entered to sharepoint so Share point Edit form have this value . So if I make a look up column it will work ?
- OK, that makes it more interesting...there may still be a way to do that, but it would probably be entirely over-engineered (unfortunately, I don't even know the over-engineered version). Where are people editing the field? Maybe disable the Quick Edit view in Advanced Settings? Hide the field from the 'New' and 'Edit' form and display the list on a page with the toolbar hidden? (I know these are not ideal)
