SmartSuite Forms now support Read-Only Fields, allowing form creators to disable user edits for specific fields while still displaying important data.
Key Highlights:
- New "Read-Only" Setting: A checkbox in Form Configuration, similar to "Hide Field from Users."
- Pre-Filled Values Supported: Read-only fields can still be pre-filled using URL parameters.
- Clear UI Indication: Read-only fields visually appear disabled (Lock icon and gray background to indicate non-editable status)
- No Impact on Conditional Logic: Read-only fields still function within conditional display rules.
- No Impact on Existing Forms: Previously shared or configured forms remain unchanged.
How It Works:
- Open Form Configuration and enable the "Read-Only" checkbox for any field.
- The field remains visible but cannot be edited by users submitting the form.
- If the field has a pre-filled value, it will still be included in the submission.
- Fields with drop downs will no longer display the selection arrow, preventing user changes.
This enhancement extends SmartSuite’s Form functionality, ensuring form creators can lock important values while preserving dynamic pre-filling and conditional behavior.
