DisplayModeEdit for attachment Field in FormViewMode

[Ashok2]

how can we set attachment field in editable mode in View form currently i am setting up below formula to make form in view mode

If(varStatus=0,FormMode.View,FormMode.Edit)

and for attachment card DisplayMode.Edit but still attachment is in View mode.

Can you try the other way round? Set the firm mode as edit, set all fields except attachment as DisplayMode View?

that will work but there are so many fields so thought of doing another way or i ahve to write conditon for each fields

You can edit the display mode properties of all data cards within a form in one go. So I would say try it out.

That being said, your original approach should work, at least in theory. If you want to stick to that approach, I can test it out and let you know.

Are you not able to select all data cards together by selecting them one by one? If not, then try this out, a tip by @mdevaney : https://twitter.com/mattbdevaney/status/1217066977853726721?s=19

Let me know if this helps.

@Ashok2 

Instead of  changing from Disabled to Edit on each individual field,

if not wanting to do it for each field,

why not instead just change the Display Mode of whole form from Edit to View when needed to be quicker and easier to maintain the solution?

[PowerAddict]

@poweractivate I think that's the original problem that was posted here. When form mode is changed to View, an individual field, even when set to be Editable, doesn't become editable.

@Ashok2 one other approach that I have used in the past is to.have 2 forms, form1 will have all the fields that need to to be view only. Form2 will have the attachments field and will be editable.

Let me know if this is something that will work for you. If not, I still plan to test out your original approach and will get back to you.
