Making Field Read Only On Select Option

Developers
#1

Hello,
I am trying to make a field read only on the select option as if yes and no. On Yes I want to make all fields read only without saving. How can i do that? Any suggestions?

frappe.ui.form.on("[your doctype]", "[your select field]", function(frm) {
    // if field is yes:
    $.each(frm.meta.fields, function(index, field)) {
	    frm.set_df_property(field.fieldname, "read_only", 1);
    });
}

Can you suggest an example for the code you’ve mentioned, specifying all the values?
Also, If there are three values in select then what should be done? @snv

Why don’t you try experimenting instead? Because that’s how you learn.

This is basic JS. Add another if statement. Why would you have three values though?

I have done experimenting. Didn’t got the appropriate result. so thought of asking an example.

frappe.ui.form.on(“Saleable Unit”, “status”, function(frm) {
// if field is yes:
$.each(frm.meta.fields, function(index, status)) {
frm.set_df_property(status.sold, “read_only”, 1);
});
}

The status is having more fields like unsold, sold, hold. That’s the reason I put up that question.
I am a newbie. I googled a solution for this.
Didn’t workout so.
If you can contribute, it would be of great help. @snv
Thanks.

frappe.ui.form.on(“Saleable Unit”, “status”, function(frm) {
if (frm.doc.status === 'Sold') {
    $.each(frm.meta.fields, function(index, field)) {
        if (field.fieldname != 'status') {
        frm.set_df_property(field.fieldname, “read_only”, 1);
     }
    });
    frm.refresh();
}
});
