Read only condition (Auto , Expression, When, Always)
I have a field (Name) in a section A with read only condition (when rule - CheckIfReadOnly). If I embed this section into another section B with read only condition as Always then I am expecting Name in read only even though CheckIfReadOnly is false when I display section B.
Am I expecting a wrong behavior?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. The problem is system behaves otherway. When rule configured in Section A returns false so the field is available for editing ignoring the read only always condition in Section B.
Hello Sekar,
New Year Greetings and thanks for posting your query in PSC :)
Could you mention the Pega version used at your end. I find the actual behavior observed at your end is similar to the post(reported on Pega 7.1.7) mentioned in https://pdn.pega.com/support-articles/edit-option-readonly-does-not-pro…. If similar, then we have hotfix(HFix-22982). You can request the hotfix by raising a Support request from PDN using URL as https://pdn.pega.com/support/my-support-portal.
Hope this helps.

Hi Sekar,
Thanks for posting your query to PSC!!
I think your expectation is a correct behaviour.
Scenario:
Section A contains Name field with Read Only(When)
Section B contains Section A with Read only (Always)
This makes the Readonly(Always) behavior of section B override the read only(when) of SectionA.
Hence the Name field appears as readonly all the time when section A included in Section B.
