What I want is to only make a from read-only once a manager has "approved" the form. So for instance, someone fills out the form (requesting travel) with their cost estimates. I want them to be able to change their estimates if they need to until the travel is approved by the manager at which point the form needs to go to read only. So I don't want to make it read only upon submission. Any suggestions?

Hello jcspsu,

There are 2 ways you can create your desired outcome.

1. Have a formatting rule to disable the fields in the view if approvalField != blank. This requires a formatting rule on all fields you wish to disable.

2. Create a second view with read-only checked in the view properties, and add logic to switch to this view if approvalField != blank

Hope that helps!
