restrict column edit while allowing to show

[aminsaleh]

Hi all

I want to restrict column edit of my Appsheet app to specific user email WHILE also allowing all other users to see the column value but will not be able to edit.

For example if I have 3 users

1- Emma

2- Sally

3- Malak

I will set only (Emma) to edit

while (Sally and Malak) can still see the column value.

I have tried below solution but the problem is that the column was hidden from all users except the one who is allowed to perform edits.

What does the Show_if config have?

@SkrOYC   What does the Show_if config have?

>> Nothing

Try adding a true inside that Show?

@SkrOYC  I tried True - nothing has happened

If there is no value in the column, and it cannot be edited, then appsheet will not display the column, in a form view, regardless of its visibility rules. Does this match what you're seeing, or is your situation different?

@Marc_Dillon  The Editable_If expression has only one email that I allow to edit. 

show field has nothing.

You should be able to still see the field even if it's not editable when it's not blank and the Show? is forced to true (an expression true).
Is the field blank?

Hi all, I think the problem has been solved. Because the user email was not confirmed on the system. Now it is ok.  All can see the answer. But only one can edit.

Thanks indeed
