Field Flags - Read Only

[DavidCasillas]

Hello, community.

Is there a flag for read-only for one particular field?

I have an SQL that is looking for a value, and the result shouldn't be modified by the user, it only needs to see it in a new field.

Regards.

Hi David,

There isn't necessarily one for "Read Only", but "Hidden" will prevent a user from editing it. The hidden flag hides the field from the form view, but still exports the field to Blue Prism.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Hello, Ben.

I was trying to use this flag, but I was expecting to see the result in the form. Since I'm using an auto-calculated flag for this field, if the user doesn't make a change in another field, the calculation is not updating the information when the batch is loaded into the Data Verification tab.

The example that I'm doing is: Field A has a value from the pdf. Field B is making an auto-calculation based on a query to an SQL DB, using Field A as parameter. When the batch is loaded, the Field B is not being populated until I modify something in Field A (which contains information at the moment of the load).

Regards.

Hi David,

Where this field (the hidden calculation) is dependent on other fields, you can make those fields mandatory (Use the "Required" flag). That way the user will have to complete them before submitting and your calculation result should be properly presented to the digital worker.

Thanks
