SharePoint ReadOnly Field can be written to by workflows
So, I scoured the internet (all of it, I swear) to find some information on readonly fields in SharePoint. Apparently, SharePoint workflows can write to readonly columns. The only problem I'm having now is getting the column to show up in a columns list.
private void onWorkflowActivated1_Invoked(object sender, ExternalDataEventArgs e) { SPList list = workflowProperties.List; if (!list.Fields.ContainsField(FIELD_NAME)) list.Fields.Add(FIELD_NAME, SPFieldType.User, false); SPFieldUser field = (SPFieldUser)list.Fields[FIELD_NAME]; field.Title = FIELD_NAME; field.AllowDisplay = true; field.ReadOnlyField = true; field.ShowInDisplayForm = true; field.ShowInEditForm = true; field.ShowInDisplayForm = true; field.ShowInEditForm = true; field.ShowInListSettings = true; field.ShowInNewForm = true; field.ShowInVersionHistory = true; field.ShowInViewForms = true; field.Update(); } private void codeActivity1_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e) { workflowProperties.Item["restricted"] = "test: " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString(); workflowProperties.Item.Update(); }
Woo- hoo! It works!
