Bug? Changing hidden list/record column field to disabled via script
I have a requirement where normally an item column field on transactions would be completely hidden and not used, unless the user matches a specific criteria.
So I set up three column fields:
1. a list/record type and sourced to a list/record field on the item record.
2. the other two are date column types sourced to date fields on the item record.
I set all of these to 'hidden' by default. Then in a user event beforeload script, I check for the user criteria and if valid, I set these three columns to be visible. I know that you need to always first set these fields to 'normal' display when bringing a normally hidden field visible so I do this first. Then I set the three fields to disabled (so they are inline displayed).
