I copied a list to a new name and want to modify the properties of it to allow for 'add record only'. Certain elements of this form I want to be non-editable.
One of these elements is a a juser_ID field rendered as a drop down.
I don't want the user to change this so I set it to 'nobody' edit privileges where 'nobody' is a view level belonging to no groups.
All is fine when adding the record. While the user id field is non-editable, I see my jos_user id there in the field. But when I save the record, the numeral zero appears.
Also, I have another field that is a drop down called 'status'. The default value of this field is 'pending_approval' I want this string to be written to the added record.
When I edit the record after adding it, all of the other 'editable' fields are fine but these two have odd values.
The juser field contains zero
the 'status' field contains the letter uppercase 'P'
I went back to Fabrik 2 to see how I did this there and I think I am following the basic pattern (aside from the new Joomla ACL aspects of it).
My intention is to link this 'add' list form to my main list so that I have control over which fields are accessible in add mode.
Am I going in the right general direction (same as F2) or is there a change in thinking or behavior that I should take into consideration.
