Best way to make item read only and still access the content via process

Lior Asras -OracleMay 30 2019 — edited Dec 6 2019

Hello experts,

What is the best way to make a page item read only to the user, and still be able to access it and change it via code (i.e. in a process)?

I tried changing the item to "disabled", which makes it read only, but I get error messages when I try to change it via code.

I also tried changing it to a "read only" item, and had a similar issue.

I was able to employ a work-around to this issue, by enabling the item from a dynamic action every time I wanted to change it or access it, but it is a complex way to handle this issue, and very hard to manage.

What is the best practice?

Thank you in advance.
