Disable subfields during different events based on user role

[shuvoworld]

How can I disable subfields or one subfield/repeat fields based on different user role?

Hello @shuvoworld

Maybe you can try to use CrudField JavaScript Library to hide or show fields.

It really depends on the use-case.

• If you want to dynamically disable them while the form is open, then as @jcastroa87 suggested - you can leverage CrudField JavaScript Library.
• If you just need to have the fields statically disabled/enabled based on the logged in user role, then you can simply use the disabled attribute for the corresponding fields when defining the fields in setupCreateOperation(), setupUpdateOperation() accordingly following the field attributes guide. As an example

    protected function setupUpdateOperation()
    {
        $attributes = [];
  
        if (!backpack_user()->isSuperAdmin) {
            $attributes = ['disabled' => 'disabled'];
        }
  
        // Repeatable from the examples
        CRUD::field([
            'name'  => 'testimonials',
            'label' => 'Testimonials',
            'type'  => 'repeatable',
            'subfields' => [
                [
                    'name'    => 'name',
                    'type'    => 'text',
                    'label'   => 'Name',
                    'wrapper' => ['class' => 'form-group col-md-4'],
                ],
                [
                    'name'    => 'position',
                    'type'    => 'text',
                    'label'   => 'Position',
                    'wrapper' => ['class' => 'form-group col-md-4'],
                    'attributes' => $attributes, // the subfield will conditionally be disabled based on the user
                ],
            ],
        ]);
    }

  But in case you want only a specific repeatable item (i.e. only 3-rd repeatable row) to be disabled, this example will not help you, as it defines the enabled/disabled field for all repeatable rows.
