The Choice is up to you.

but let me give you an hint.

one solution required another item plus dynamic action to help taking care of other issues that might arise.

the other one is a one way trough and stop the issue before it even arises, less costly in term of operation.

Our concern is only that your issue is resolved. Whichever solution you apply in your case accord to your preferences is up to you.

But between the two options that you both gave, which one is better and why? What are the considerations , pros and cons between these two approaches?

The text item with readonly attribute is non-standard (hence the custom CSS to make it look like a display-only item):

• It's appearance doesn't match that of other display-/read-only controls in the application.
• A future APEX or Universal Theme upgrade may change the styling of page items so the custom override no longer works.
• It's non-editable but the control still accepts input focus. This will slow down and potentially confuse users navigating through the form.

The display-only + hidden item combination does require an additional item, but uses only using standard APEX styling and processing, so it is future-proofed against later upgrades. This follows the preferred APEX "low code" approach: don't write code you don't have to.

Hi,

look there is no reason to be peaky here.

I am here for knowledge not for pointless   fights Or competition.

readonly is a css attribute not a part of apex component  which will work  independently of any apex version past present and future. No additional effort  required here.

if you do not feel yourself included in the “we” feel free to ignore my posts.

respectfully,

franck
