Disabling biz form fields
Is there a simple way to disable a biz form control? I would like the form in CMS desk to look very similar to the form that a customer fills in but I would like to make many of the fields disabled/read-only.

RE:Disabling biz form fields
Hello,

To set this dynamically for already created fields, you would need to upgrade to version 7 (ore develop your own form control). However if you just need to set the field to be not editable, you can select its Control form property as Label.

Best regards,

Hi,

Upgrading is not an option and labels for the data would not distinguish the data from the existing field labels so I guess I'll create my own form controls.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,

Yes, I had already researched how to solve the problem by creating custom form controls but was hoping for a simpler solution. I have now created the custom controls. Problem solved. I'm glad this has been improved in version 7.

Thanks,
Ryan
