Symptom
You would like to set case Status read-only using Dynamic Properties.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
- SAP Service Cloud Version 2
Reproducing the Issue
- Open User Menu.
- Navigate to System Settings > All Settings.
- Go to Extensibility > Extensibility Administration.
- Select Case Service > Case.
- Open Dynamic Properties.
- Attempt to set the Status Field 'Mark as read-only'
Cause
Setting the Status attribute to read-only via Dynamic Properties is not supported.
The Status field is automatically updated in several processes (for example, when marking a case as irrelevant, during email-to-case conversion, and during draft case conversion), and enforcing read-only would interfere with these updates; therefore, read-only is excluded for Status in Dynamic Properties.
Resolution
Setting the Status attribute to read-only via Dynamic Properties is not supported.
