Secure Form fields at Creation

Hi,

I sucessfully secure some fields in my custom form using security in the workflow of the form.

Problem is, I can't secure my fields until the workflow is started.

Is there a way to secure them a the creation of the entry.

The zonewithsecurity image is the zone after the workflow is started.

The zonewithoutsecurity image is the zone at the creation of the entry.

Thanks

If you use the folder "configure" command, you can associate your workflow with the entry type. This causes the workflow to be started as soon as the entry is created. That should eliminate the time that the entry is not running a workflow.

Also, in the next release (which is now in beta), I have added the ability to not show certain fields when an entry is in specified states. You could also use this approach to hide fields. I believe the beta for Kablink is just being posted early this week.

Ok,

I understand what you mean, but this, I already did it.

What I really want is to secure my fields during the creation or before the entry is created.

Is there a way to do this.

Thanks

Ok, I see what you want. You can easily do this by making a couple of custom jsps. You can take the current jsps that support select boxes or text boxes and copy them. Then change them to detect whether the entry exists or not. When it doesn't exist, show the "secured" version. You can tell if the entry doesn't exist yet using the following jstl:

<c:if test="${empty ssEntry}">

... the entry doesn't exist yet

</c:if>
