Prevent some value changes in a radiobutton field

Hi,

In a form I have defined one radiobutton field for document status with a fixed list of values (created, approved, done, rejected).

Only these value changes must be authorized in edit mode: created → approved

       created -> rejected

       approved -> done

How can I manage this and inform users that for example changing this field from “created” to “done” is not authorized.

Thank you.

Olivier

Hello Olivier!

Try to use an input validation formula on the field:

Subject: A much easier way is…

populate the choices with a fieldname, e.g. validChoicesSet the values in validChoices by whatever method you like

(But make sure the current choice is always valid…)
