I have an editable Rich Text field where in the user enters, pastes, attaches information for others to view. When the status field of the document = “Completed”, I want to hide the editable Rich Text field and only display the content of the field so that they can’t make any changes to it after completion.
Is this possible?

Hi Willy,Thank you for the reply. I think my head is full of Xmas songs, can’t think straight, but after reading your suggestion, I remembered doing something like that before.
Thanks again and have a lovey xmas & new year!

From my experience, the most reliable way to make a RT field read-only, is to put it inside an access-controlled section. The access control formula should be computed for display then and - if status is Completed, grant edit access only to an admin role.
You can make RT fields computed to others, but it doesn’t always work reliably and hiding the editable RT item is another issue.

Thank you for your reply Harkpabst.
I think I’m gonna give the hidden subforms a try.
