Set a non-editable field if another field has a specific value

Please try on your test site

Fields interested firstname and lastname

On lastname fied I added this on Profile Edit Value Layout

Please try and you will be able to verify that it does not work

The below will work fine for "Profile Edit Value Layout" layout for the lastname field. If a lastname is supplied it'll simply display that lastname. If it's not supplied it'll let you add one.


You can not use formatted substitutions in the layouts as it can result in an infinite loop. At some point it may allow them after more detailed regexp parsing is added for them, but for now your option is raw output only.

Indeed it is what I'm trying to explain from the beginning that formatted substitutions in the layouts does not work in edit view layout. I already knew that the raw output work fine, but I need a formatted replacement.

You mean you will be added later the possibility that serves to me to use formatted substitutions in the layouts?
Thank you

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Yes, at some point you maybe able to output the formatting values in the layout but for now you can't as it's too easy to get stuck in an infinite loop. We'll have to add regexp to likely check what the reason value is set to to avoid this. You can try adding it to a Custom HTML field then substituting in the Custom HTML field for the time being as that might work if you need this now.
