    Pretty self-explanatory. I’d like to be able to lock records after entry. I don’t want to activate the Edit/Save option…I want to lock, say all records from 2016.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the feature request.

    You mean like a lock button on every record that lets you prevent editing of that record?

    Yes, essentially that.

    Ideally I would be able to highlight multiple records, even if only in the MCLV, then pick “Read-only” from the context menu or the Records menu.

    My records now span multiple years and I want to protect older records against accidental change / deletion.

    I’d also like this. I am often inadvertently deleting data when selecting on my iPhone and have to come out and back without saving to recover the data. Makes me nervous.

    Are there any news on this topic?

    No, I have not worked on this kind of feature exactly. On the iOS version you can disable record editing, but that’s for all records, not for specific records.

    Yes, that would nice to have on MacOS. It would help us klutzes to be able to switch from ‘read-only’ to ‘edit’ mode on a whole Form or Document. I worry about accidently changing a Check Mark field, or deleting an entire text field without noticing in time to “Undo”.
