Thank you for trying. My problem is not the item record. I have a set of users who should be able to edit the inventory number records i.e. lot numbers but not the item record itself. I will insert scripting to make the item record view-only for this role.

We are working with support but the response is slow.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, we are not using the advanced templates. It's a basic layout. Strangely enough Date(trandate) is a date field. Perhaps I should check with Support.

Thanks for your reply. That worked!

For anyone who might land here in the future, it certainly seems to work on After Submit though the context needs to remain un-selected.
