Hello everyone,

The title explains it all, is there a way to prevent text entries form being editable ?

You might be wondering why not using the action text component ? Well, I’d love to but the problem is that I have two pages related to the same table, and I want that a user A who has access to page might be able to enter details while the user B who accesses the page B might not.

The issue is that if I change anything on the “view item” it’s automatically changed in all my pages which is annoying.

Your help is much appreciated !

Theoretically if you have a “role” for those users you can show text entries to one and action texts to the other.
