validated field able to be cleared

[Kevin Dalton]

When we require a field on transition how can we prevent the field from being cleared out on the edit screen or with inline edit?

[Phill Fox]

If you require the field to be changed only on the transition then you should add the field to a screen that is only used for the transition. It should not be included on any other screen especially the edit screen as that will allow inline editing. 

You then need to set a validator on the transition to ensure that the field is completed as part of the transition.

Right, but once it has transitioned what prevents them from hitting edit and removing it?

Who was this comment aimed at? @Phill Fox or @Chander Inguva ?

Nothing - that's why you remove it from the edit screen.

If you're experiencing this problem you're not using the Edit function right. If you give everyone Edit permissions, you have zero control of your data. Use transitions + validators without Edit operations if you need to control data.

Hi Kevin,

              If you have Script Runner installed, using Behaviours, you can make it read-only.
