Hello,

 

I am trying to configure the write access driver of an item to build something as follows:

If drop-down item is selected, then the write access to a column is revoked. Else, you have write access.

 

Can a write-access driver be configured to dynamically change once a drop-down item is selected? All the examples that I have seen have only have used booleans.

    Regarding your point - let's say we have a drop-down column called TYPE consisting of:

    • A
    • B
    • C

    Why can't I just make a formula that looks like this?

    TRUE IF 'INP00 - Checklist'.Type = A ELSE FALSE

    what would be the correct way to write this?

    @anand.shekhawat @rob_marshall First of all, thank you for the assistance 🙂

     

    I should note that the thing it is checking for is text. So if I do this
    IF 'INP00 - Checklist'.Type = "A" THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE

    I get this error:

    Datatypes do not match for '=' function: LIST:Resource Type, TEXT
     
    If I remove the quotation marks:
    A is not a recognized line item or list member

    Sorry - this was a separate issue the dealt with the intricacies of my model. As for the question posed originally, your solution is correct.
