Permission on Field Selection

[estoddard]

I have a form in an ERP application that I need to have some added control on a particular field.
Field Name "STATUS"
It is multiple Drop Down with the following Selections.

Not Started
In Progress
Escalated
Re-open
Closed

I only want select people to be able to "CLOSED" and then Save the record.

The Application uses this field and these selections for a lot of process control, but will not permit me to qualify permissions lower then the form itself.

So I thought a JS Script that I could apply to the form might do the trick...Looking for some creative ideas...


Thank you so much for any help....

Hi

Why not just set those [tt]option[/tt]s you not want to be selectable to [tt]disabled="disabled"[/tt] ?

Or you can put an [tt]onchange[/tt] event handle on the [tt]select[/tt] to reset the selection if an undesired one is selected.

Anyway, you should validate the [tt]form[/tt] data on the server-side too, the JavaScript is just for user friendliness. So I would use the first solution, because the disabled [tt]option[/tt]s are marked distinctly by the browser.
