You need to create a custom view for the module (custom/modules/<ModuleName>/views/view.edit.php) containing something like that:

 <?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
 
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.edit.php');
 
class <ModuleName>ViewEdit extends ViewEdit {
    function display() {
        require_once('modules/Administration/QuickRepairAndRebuild.php');
 
        $selected_actions = Array('clearTpls');
        $modules = Array('<ModuleName>');
        $RepairAndClear = new RepairAndClear();
        $RepairAndClear->repairAndClearAll($selected_actions, $modules, $autoexecute = true, $show_output = false);
 
        if($this->bean->id != '') {
            foreach($this->ev->defs as $defs => $def_detail) {
                foreach($def_detail as $panel => $panel_defs) {
                    if(is_array($panel_defs)){
                        foreach($panel_defs as $row => $row_defs) {
                            foreach($row_defs as $field => $field_defs) {
                                if(is_array($field_defs)) {
                                    if($this->ev->defs[$defs][$panel][$row][$field]['name'] == '<FieldName>') {
                                        $this->ev->defs[$defs][$panel][$row][$field]['type'] = 'readonly';
                                    }
                                } else {
                                    if($field_defs == '<FieldName>') {
                                        $this->ev->defs[$defs][$panel][$row][$field] = array(
                                            'name' => $field_defs,
                                            'type' => 'readonly',
                                        );
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
 
        $this->ev->process();
 
        parent::display();
    }
}
?>  

Obviously you need to replace the <ModuleName> and <FieldName> according to the module and field you want to customize.

Hi,
I have used the following code for text field.

$modules = Array('<ModuleName>'); // Module Name - Bank

if ($this->ev->defs[$defs][$panel][$row][$field]['name'] == '<FieldName>') // Field Name = share_price

And add the Custome folder/ modulebuilder \packages \ <Module Name> \ view \ view.edit.php

The text filed is not readonly.

any other solutions.


Thanks
Bharat
