Making Estimate field readonly

0
Dnyanesh Markad (29●18●25) | asked Feb 26 '13, 2:39 a.m.
Hi Everyone,

We are using RTC 3.0.1.3. I want to make estimate field readonly in some of the states of the workitem. For e.g. There are workitem states like New, Inprogress, Completed. Then I want solution like given in the table below

State         New            Inprogress            Completed
                 RW              Readonly              Readonly  


I have tried for the approach of creating different editor presentations.
Also Main thing is I am not able to make estimate field readonly at all. Whether in particular state or all states.
Any help appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Dnyanesh

Hi Dnyanesh,
https://jazz.net/library/article/997/ explains how to make fields read only in 3.0.  Beginning in 4.0, there is an out of the box way to make fields read only based on the state of the work item, and the article describes how to use this feature.  I'm not sure if upgrading to 4.0 is an option for you.

Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the reply. But the thing is In RTC 3.0.1.3 we can not make Estimate field "readonly" at all. I tried to make it readonly by making change in attribute types and in editor presentation also. Although making it "readonly",  we can edit the Estimate field.
For other attributes its working by making them readonly. Can you suggest how to make that "estimate" field "readonly"

Thanks
Dnyanesh

Hi Dnyanesh,
Did you follow the steps in https://jazz.net/library/article/997/ to make the field read only?  If that still doesn't work for you, can you describe in detail the steps you're taking?

Hi Dnyanesh, Lauren, it might be impossible to do so, because the estimation presentation is a composite that covers several attributes and in 3.x it was not possible to make this special one read only (I briefly looked). Read only by type and state did not exist either as operational behavior in 3.x. That is new in 4.x. I assume you would have to create a custom advisor.

Thanks Ralph. I thought in that way to of creating custom advisor but just want to confirm that whether we can customize it or not?

Many Thanks
