Which property preserves the values? Visible or Disabled?

PHPMaker General Discussion (PHPMaker)

Hi,

I am using PHPMaker 2026.

I have three fields in a form, and based on the user level, only one of these fields should be editable. The other fields must retain their existing values without being modified.

I have already set the value of the field ReadyForPublish to 1. However, when I attempt to hide or disable this field using:

$this->ReadyForPublish->Visible = false;

or

$this->ReadyForPublish->Disabled = true;

the value of ReadyForPublish is not preserved when the record is saved.

What is the correct approach in PHPMaker to hide or disable a field while ensuring that its existing value is retained?

Thank you,
Anuradha

Both works, make sure you use set the property in Row_Rendered server event.
