Disable Choice Field Drop Down Values from being selected


Badge +6

I have a bunch of independent Choice Fields.  Users are required to select an option that is respective of the status of the request...'New', 'In Process', 'Awaiting Final Approval', 'Complete'.  I need to disable the user from being able to select 'Complete'.  I need to keep 'Complete' as an option, as I have a workflow that checks if specific conditions are met (other fields in the form to be populated with a value), and will change the status to 'Complete' when those conditions are met.

How can I disable an option from the Choice field so it cannot be selected by a user?

Thank you for this and I especially appreciate the screen shots.  I'm not certain that I will put this in my solution but it is exactly what I'd like to do!

I have also implemented an alternative solution to put a rule on the field for

  • contains([ChoiceFieldName],"Value user cannot choose") to then invalidate that selection

This works quite nicely and cuts to the chase for many instances.
