Highlighting fields in editor presentation


Mohan K M (1111511) | asked Jan 24 '11, 5:12 a.m.
Hi All,
Am using RTC v3.0 for building a process flow. As part of this. I would need to highlight (color coding/ making bold/ marking with *) couple of fields based on the rules which get invoked on saving a work item. Is there anyway to achieve it?

Another query I had was, is there any way to make a field to appear as read only in other tabs for viewing purpose; For eg, if I have a custom field called 'abc' created and added to tab 'A' on the editor presentation, can I have the same field to be viewed (not for editing purpose, only to see the value) on a different tab, 'B'?

Any pointer in this direction would be really appreciated. Many thanks.

Thanks,
Mohan.

There is a work item to highlight a field as being required based on
dynamic computations from the current state: 133631.

Is there any way to highlight the fields based on the rules which get
invoked on saving a WI?
