Input-Enabled Formulas


Input-enabled formulas allow you to define whether or not a field is editable using a @formula that evaluates to @True or @False. The Domino Designer 7 documentation indicates that this feature is available only to "Native OS" style fields, but we have found that this feature is also available to Notes style fields.

Input-enabled formulas are configured via the Objects field navigator for the selected field. A formula that evaluates to @True allows the field to be edited. A formula that evaluates to @False prevents that field from being edited. The following input-enabled formula prevents the selected field from being edited in documents with a Subject field value of Test.
