How to prevent users from changing a cell in Dynamic View
Hi ,
I have a sheet with some data; users need to populate some cells with additional data. How can I prevent them from modifying the existing data?

Hello! Here are two solutions depending on your use case:
- You can click on a field shown in the detains panel and change the field properties to read only if you want to prevent edits to an entire column.
2. Alternatively, if you'd like a field to be editable up until specific data is entered into a field, you can go into the logic tab and freeze key fields when specific criteria are met.
Hope this helps!

@Almonto1 Thank you! I actually would like to freeze a row, not a column/field. Is there a way to prevent users from changing data in a row?

You would need to leverage the logic and basically set all fields to read only when the certain conditions are met.

@Paul Newcome can you please give me an example?

@User251 You can reference @Almonto1's last comment (2nd portion), but instead of selecting a few key fields, you would select all fields.
