Question

"How to define a FormElement with independent editable state/condition?"

[smunar · Accepted solution]

Answer

All FormElements (FormAction, FormField, FormGroup...) are inheriting the disabled-state of their parent-FormElements. But it is possible to declare FormElements with independent editable-states. 

Add a custom-script file to your form, bind a function to the 'form:before:ready' event and set a list with one or more FormElement-ids to the 'itemsWithIndependentEditableState' property.

Example

For example, if you want to define a read-only textfield with a clickable button as child-element.

FormSettings.xml

<Form name="form" customscript="customscript.js">
    <FormTab name="tab">
      <FormGroup name="group">
        <FormField name="textfield" editable="false">
          <FormAction name="button" editable="true"></FormAction>
        </FormField>
      </FormGroup>
    </FormTab>
</Form>

customscript.js

IG.vent.on('form:before:ready', function (form) {
    //These formitems don't inherit the editable states of their parents
    form.itemsWithIndependentEditableState = ['button'];
});
