Disable creation/deletion for relationship (repeatable) fields

[cj-fbr]

Is it possible to disable or hide the "delete" and "new item" buttons on a relationship/repeatable field? I really just want these items to be visible, but without the ability to add/remove them. Disabling the individual subfields is simple enough, but the readonly and disabled attributes don't have an effect at the upper widget level.

$this->crud->addField([
            'type' => "relationship",
            'name' => "things",
            'attributes' => [
                'readonly' => 'readonly',
                'disabled' => 'disabled',
            ],
            'subfields' => [
                [
                    'name' => 'type', ...

Hi, @cj-fbr can you give us more information? maybe you can add what the forms look like, so we can understand what's going on, is it in an update operation?

I'm referring to the highlighted buttons in the screenshot below...

In my use case, the fields will always be populated, and I want to show their values, but I don't want users to be able to add new or remove existing records.

@cj-fbr You can disable the whole repeatable using the CRUD JS API.

crud.field('things').disable() (you can test it in the browser console and then move it to a file if it does what you want).

But if you want to ensure your field is not saved (even if user modify html attributes), you should overwrite the store() or update() functions and remove it from the request.

Alternatively you can use a FormRequest and exclude that field from the request after validation.

That will do it. Thanks for the help.
