Control Edit To Confiform Fields

Question

I have 2 confiform form/tables:

* holds a list of authors for a document
* holds the descriptive information being captured, comments, date info, etc..

I would like to limit the edit capabilities of select fields in the second form/table to just the author(s) defined in the first form/table while allowing the other fields to be editable by the everyone.

I know I can specifically list editable users per field but this could shrink/grow based on the team of authors in play over the year.

Is there a way to drive the editable user listing for a field in second form/table the based on the entries in the first form/table, e.g., dynamically look them up?

Server/Data Center version 7.11.2 of Confluence is our install version.

so close. i played with this over the weekend and this solution requires that i select the authors from the drop down vs have it auto-populate with the existing data from the authors table.

ideally i would like:

* single entry for each author in the author form/table
* single entry in the descriptive information form/table where certain fields are restricted to the list of authors contained in the author form/table

i will continue to play around with this and feel like i am close enough to taste it.

I do want to add edit controls per field and understand how that is done. What i am trying to do is dynamically drive the editors to specific fields if they exist in another table. I'll take a look at the demo and let you know.

BOOM, that is it! I know there had to be a way to do it but I could not figure it out.

You want to set edit restrictions on particular fields, right?

Let me demo this to you http://recordit.co/ifX9KN3JVO
