Disable certain fields

Post by modir »

Is it possible to disable/hide certain fields like e.g. "Execution notes" so that users can not use them?

We have often the problem that the users write the things in the wrong form fields.

not possible this kind of fine grain configuration is IMHO an overkill that no product have.
A good guideline have to solve this , because people will be always able to write wrong thing on wrong place no matter you block

Well. I know several software where you can do this. We even wrote a CRM software ourself where you can do this. If you use e.g. Zend_Form from the Zend Framework then it is very easy to implement as well. But that's now a different topic.

Of course you can not make it 100% bullet proof that everything is written at the write place. But if you can bring the quality of the content from 50% to 85% just by disabling some fields then it is a huge benefit.

Would you be interested in coding this as a paid feature?
