Hidden / locked fields in Custom Lists ? 1

[NickLowe]

I've created a custom list that contains an expiry field, the contents of which is calculated (today + 7) and which should be 'set-in-stone'.

Using a custom view, I've hidden the field in the list view, but when an item is selected from the list and the item detail view is displayed, the expiry field can then be updated, so that instead of expiring after 7 days, the item could remain indefinitely.

Is there a way of hiding or locking fields in the item detail view of a custom list ?

Hi,

If you use an calculated column it will not be editable, (i assume you are using an data column with a deafult value?)

Make the type of the calculated column date/time and select only date, the formula should be =Created+7 (Its the date in the column created because calculated columns cant accept Today because it keeps calculating the value)
