Read-Only Form Fields
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 dropdowns 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.
