i have one best practise

if(
ri!whatever,
true,
false
)
makes no sense as the value of r!whatever is already true or false. so stay with just with

"ri!whatever" instead of the whole "if(....,true,false)" thing.

hi victoria,
to add conditions you can extend the "or" or and an "and" thats more part of the mathematical "logic"

examples

if(
    or(
        local!var=1,
        local!var=2,
        local!var=3,
        local!var=4
    ),
    true
    ......
)

___________________________________
if(
and(
    or(
     local!var01=.....;
     local!var07=....
    ),
    or(),
    or()
),
true,
....
)

________________________________
if(
or(
    and(),
    and(),
    or(),
    local!var99=.....
),
true,
....
)

i did not understand your question properly . If you want to add one more condition then you can use nested "If" condition.

now I can add one extra read only, what should be the best practtce here.

like something ( if(ri!isKidOnly, true, false) ) to make only readable if that is the option selected

thank you very much 🙂

You can have 3 variables to store boolean values and then based on these values you can configure your readOnly parameters.

how should I then give the choice between 3 options ?

RE: change the data in the process

GopalK — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 05:36:08 GMT

in this case you can use readonly parameter of those fields to conditionally make then editable or readonly.

correct, sorry couldn't explain in a better way.

RE: change the data in the process

An absolut guess by my side:
it seems that you are looking a condition for the "readonly" parameter in your SAIl components.

Example
-> a!textField( label, instructions, required, readOnly, disabled, value, validations, saveInto, refreshAfter, validationGroup, requiredMessage, align, labelPosition, placeholder, helpTooltip, masked, accessibilityText, showWhen, inputPurpose, characterLimit, showCharacterCount )

Read-only

readOnly

Boolean

Determines if the field should display as not editable. Default: false

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Text_Component.html

So the moment your condition is true, its not editable any more.

If you click on a element with a link function (linkfield,card, richtext...), a value changes and its becoming editablel or read only depending on the current state.

-> but i didn't get the issue regarding "going back" in the process?

I am sorry but I am still figuring out the exact requirement here. Could you please confirm if you want to add multiple options to restrict certain fields in the form?

RE: change the data in the process

victoriab0001 — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 16:08:34 GMT

Here we have the process

RE: change the data in the process

victoriab0001 — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 16:07:57 GMT

Option one : only distribution fee amendable.

Option two.

RE: change the data in the process

victoriab0001 — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 16:04:13 GMT

So In the process that I have I want to add like a message that could prompt and give the user the ability to choose between 3 different options regarding an amendment that is required. Normal process gives the user the right to edit all of the fields from the form. I want to add two new options where only some fields could be editable

It is a bit hard to follow.
What is your question exactly in one sentence?
