Is it possible to change a page to be read only (from edit) based on the value in a field?
In other words, in our opportunities, we have a status field. We would like to lock down the page once the status hits ‘Closed’. I know we can do this through separate page layouts being driven by workflow rules changing record types, but I was hoping for a solution that would not require us to maintain two versions of the same page.

+18Jay,
There may be other methods, but you could set a model action to look for changes to your status field, and fire some javascript. Then use something like this: https://community.skuid.com/t/edit-mode-button
+9There is a TON of code in the issue linked to and dozens of comments - very tough to follow. Isn’t there any easier way to conditionally set a table’s or field editor’s “default mode” property upon page load? My use case is the same as stated above: If he record’s status field = “submitted” it should be read-only, and if not it should be editable. This is a very common situation for our clients and it would be really valuable to be able to control this without the complexity of record types, workflow rules, sharing rule switching, etc.
+18Agreed.
However, I think you can just use the official response from Chris at the top of that thread.
