--- { "_label": "Make an Item read-only after Saving" } --- Use the method `cur_frm.set_df_property` to update the field's display. In this script we also use the `__islocal` property of the doc to check if the document has been saved atleast once or is never saved. If `__islocal` is `1`, then the document has never been saved. cur_frm.cscript.custom_refresh = function(doc) { // use the __islocal value of doc, to check if the doc is saved or not cur_frm.set_df_property("myfield", "read_only", doc.__islocal ? 0 : 1); }
