conditional fields

[simoncpage]

Is there a way to have a checkbox that makes a field locked or open for entry based on a checkbox value?

Thanks

You can use field validation when defining the field:

Say FieldA is the field you want to lock. The field Locked is the checkbox.

Validate by Calculation, Strict: Locked <> "Locked". Set a custom message like "This field is not modifiable. Click Revert Field to change it back."
