Disable Auto-follow Preference Globally

[DFerati]

Hello, and thanks for reading

I need to disable the feature to auto-follow because whenever an assigned user is replaced, the old user can still view and check the progress of the entity, if there is another approach or a fix regarding my request please let me know

Uncheck Administration > Users > UserName > Preferences > Misc > Auto-follow created records.
Also uncheck Administration > Settings > Misc > Follow Created Entities. This is the default value for new users, or for users who Reset to Default in Preferences.

Thanks a lot victor I appreciate your response a lot and as of now it does fulfill my requirements, however is it possible to remove it completely for the users?, since if they go to their preferences they still can check it ?

Create file custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityAcl/Preferences.json with content

{
  "fields": {
    "followCreatedEntities": {
      "nonAdminReadOnly": true
    }
  }
}​ 

Users will still be able to see this field, but not modify

That is perfect, thank you very much to both of you
