Set read only state on a secondary list.

NOTE: This functionality is only available in GlobalSearch Go

Component states may change if GlobalSearch Go needs to redraw dynamic controls. If you need to lock a dynamic list, the script below can poll for the state and set it correctly.

JS

const interval = setInterval(() => {
  if(!$$inject.fieldProperties['Secondary'].readOnly){
    $$inject.fieldProperties['Secondary'].readOnly = true;
    console.log("Secondary field set to read-only.");
  }
  console.log("Polling Secondary field read-only status...");
}, 500);

setTimeout(() => {
  clearInterval(interval);
  console.log("Secondary field poll stopped.");
}, 5000);

return 'Loaded';

🔍 Line-by-Line Breakdown

1. Start a Repeating Check

javascript

JS

const interval = setInterval(() => {
  if(!$$inject.fieldProperties['Secondary'].readOnly){
    $$inject.fieldProperties['Secondary'].readOnly = true;
    console.log("Secondary field set to read-only.");
  }
  console.log("Polling Secondary field read-only status...");
}, 500);

This sets up a loop that runs every 500 milliseconds (half a second). Each time it runs:

It checks if the Secondary field is still editable.
If it is, it locks it and prints a message.
It also prints a message saying it's checking.

Think of it like a security guard walking by every half second saying, “Is this door locked? No? Let me lock it.”

2. Stop the Loop After 5 Seconds

javascript

JS

setTimeout(() => {
  clearInterval(interval);
  console.log("Secondary field poll stopped.");
}, 5000);

This sets a timer to stop the security guard after 5 seconds. It’s like saying: “After 10 checks, you can go home.”

3. Return a Status Message

javascript

JS

return 'Loaded';

This just returns a message saying the script has finished loading to the Live Field.
