How to make an attribute visible, read-only, mandatory or display a different set of choices on a particular form only
Normally you define whether an attribute is visible or read-only using dynamic business rules and you define whether an attribute is mandatory by ticking the “Required” property of the attribute. This makes the attribute visible, read-only or mandatory on all forms. There are scenarios, though where you want to make the attribute visible, read-only, mandatory or display a particular set of choices on a particular form only. To do this:
- Open the form section that has the attribute using the Form Designer
- Select the required attribute
- Click on the “Presentation rules” property.
- Define the appropriate presentation rule (conditional or unconditional) – select ACCESS as element type to make the attribute visible or read-only (specify this in the Element dialog) or select REQUIRED as element type to make the attribute mandatory or select Choices to display a different set of choices (for an attribute that has choices)
