Workflow > Set Field Display Type > Sublist field > set to Disabled is not working
I created a workflow with the ff workflow action settings:
Trigger on: Before Record Load
Condition (formula): User Role =! Administrator
Parameters:
Sublist = Items
Field = Units (Line)
Display Type = disabled
Basically I wanted no one be able to edit the Units line item field in an Estimate, SO, or item fulfillment, unless he/she is an Administrator.
When I tried the same settings BUT the Parameter is Body | Field = Probability | Display Type = disabled, it worked fine.
Is the display type not meant to change for sublist fields? Or am I missing something here?
