Permissions - and resetting a presentation that is protected

0
Steve Woodbridge (135●23●26) | asked Oct 23 '10, 7:35 p.m.
I set up permission on a specific field that is comprised of Yes and No radio buttons. So as a developer I shouldn't be able to update it (whereas the Team Lead WOULD be able to). Also, the default of the field is not set to Yes or No. So a person has to purposely select the Yes or No.

During my investigation, I found that even if I do not access to update the specific attribute, I can still select Yes or No buttons. But when I try to save the Work Item, it won't save. This is GOOD, because it shows the field/attribute was properly protected.

The problem is that the field does NOT reset itself to a non-selected state. So I cannot save the Work Item and would have to start all over again. This could be very aggravating for the customer if they had to cancel out and re-enter their information again.

Is there a way to make the field/attribute DISPLAY if a person does not have access to update it ? OR a way to may the field reset when the permissions error is triggered ?

You should be able to make a field reset with the "revert" action, but
there is a bug there (work item 136972). You can work around that bug
by deleting the editor for that workitem, and opening it again.

WRT making a field be read-only in the GUI based on a dynamic
computation like this, I've submitted work item 137976 for that. If
there currently is a way to do so, I'll close that work item.

Cheers,
Geoff

Thanks. I came up with a workaround. Rather than yes/no radio buttons, I created an Enumeration with 3 values :

Select Value
Yes
No

I set the Default literal and Unassigned literal to "Select Value"

This way, if a person has set the value to Yes or No ... and they don't have permission to change that field, they can just re-select the "Select Value" and they will be able to save the Work Item - keeping all the other information they had just entered.
