Hi,

You can make it so users can’t edit certain fields by going to : /custom/modules//metadata/editviewdefs.php

If this location doesn’t exist, then feel free to create it. (The easiest way would be to make an editview customization via studio)

In this file, add ‘type’=>‘readonly’, to the definitions of the file you want to make readonly.

i.e:

 array (
            'name' => 'name',
            'label' => 'LBL_NAME',
            'displayParams' => 
            array (
              'required' => true,
            ),
          ),

Would become:

 array (
            'name' => 'name',
              'type'=> 'readonly',
            'label' => 'LBL_NAME',
            'displayParams' => 
            array (
              'required' => true,
            ),
          ),

You can do the same for the description field.

Afterwards, run a Quick Repair & Rebuild and clear your Browser’s cache to view changes.
