Make a field read-only after initial save

From: janice c (2011-06-30 06:10)

How would I make a field read-only after user saved a new record in Maximo 7? Wanted to set the ENCRYPTED field of the System Properties application to be read-only after initial save. I've done the steps below but what I really wanted is to make the said field read-only after the user save the new record.
1. Create a conditional expression - upper(:propname) like '%PASS%' and :encrypted=1.
2. Go to Security Group and apply attribute restriction
Object : Maxprop
Attribute : encrypted
Application : PROPMAINT
Type : readonly
Condition : the above condition which I have created earlier
Please help. Thanks heaps

Instead of using attribute restrictions apply your conditional expression to
the field you want to be read only. Have the condition check the table if
the record exists and set the conditional property inputmode with value of
readonly . you'll need to apply a signature option to the field and grant
the EVERYONE security group access to this sigoption. This can easily be
done via the conditional UI.
