    Please enter in the field options "Writable if"

     

    'this field' = null

    then you can only insert a value and after that the field is locked.

    I don't get it, when doing that I can't enter anything in the field at all.

    Is there a way to make a whole record locked??? Eks. if you have 10 fields in a record, can I then have a buttom to change the whole record from editing??? And reverse of course.

    Sure.. add a field.. 'Record Locked' ... default to False .. then create a button that is viewable only to you..that tolggles that value.  For each field .. in the Writable If ....   add

    'Record Locked' = false 

    or something like that..

    Got it on Text fields, thanks. But it doesn't work on number fields, right??

    The next question is can I prevent a record from being deleted??

    I Got it on number fields too.

    Now the only problem is to make records undeleteable.

    Hi, in the table options you can define which user role has the permission to delete records.

    No, I don't, I'm the only one using the database. But maybe I have to use the cloud version, and have 2 usenames, so I can prevent my self from deleting a record.

    Can I transfer database from the free version to the cloud version without any problems?

    Yes.. you can save your local database as an archive .. then restore that archive to the Ninox Cloud version .. and reorganize it so it is now owned by the cloud platform.

    I don't fully understand that. But it doesn't seem to protect the records from accidentally beeing deleted.

    Ah, no it doesn’t. I thought it was to build a solution so no other persons could edit your database.

    Maybe in future updates? Or in the cloud version it is possible.

    Thank you for trying to help me.

    It is possible in the Cloud version, but I don't need that version, as I'm the only one using the database.
