2758276 - Visible Property Of Field Is Greyed Out

Symptom

You have set the Mandatory property of a given field to be controlled by a rule, so in certain scenarios it will become true, and after that the Visible property of the same field has become greyed out and you can no longer control it.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Cause

If a field has the possibility of becoming mandatory it must be visible, so you can't control visibility as this would cause logic issues and a field could become mandatory and invisible, hence preventing you from saving a document.

Resolution

This is the standard behavior of the system.

If you need this functionality urgently you may contact your implementation manager to help with such request or approach directly the SAP Cloud Service Center.
