Portal : limit lookup table specific fields ( populate dropdown)

[rinorway]

Hi there,

Having entity "books", with name and author, and 40 other fields.

Having portal entity "reviews" enabled for portal role "Reviewers"

Having books - 1:n - reviews relations



I want to limit the reviewers to only be able to see the Books.name and books.author when selecting the book that they want to review.

Currently : I need to disable all 40 fields in the ACL, and set only books.name and books.author to "read"

Is there any faster way to do that reverse way like, so that default all fields are read:no, edit:no, except books.name and books.author

Hello, No such ability unfortunately. I'll consider the ability to add many fields at once set to 'no'.

Hi rinorway,

The easiest option is to create a separate Layout Set for your portal. For example, leave books.name and books.author for Detail view (screenshot 1). Can be applied to any Layout.

Hiding from the layout does not hide a field completely. This is not a secure solution.
