Prevent Edits of Specific Portal Rows

[FMD]

I have an Order Layout with a portal to an Order Line Items Table.

Certain items are "kits" where there are other items that are members of the kit.

When a user selects a kit and enters a quantity the Line Items portal automatically creates the new rows using the kit items information and appropriate quantities.

What I want to know is if there is any way to prevent just those rows that are members of the kit from being edited directly. Specifically I don't want the users changing the items or the quantities.

Darn... been watching...No replies... I am going to ask the same question but differently..

I have a button to Add New Portal line.. or record.

My problems is when user is entering a field in the last line of portal then Tabs or commits that field moving to the next field.. At that moment.. somehow the next record is add? And i don't want that.. but to click my Add New button?

You could prohibit field entry on the portal fields (field Behavior) and then simply prompt for any necessary info in a dialog. Then, just script the entry into the portal, go to the last row and Set Field.
