Disable color input field

Function: Disable Color Input Field​

This action allows you to make a specific color selection field on your application form unusable. When a color input field is disabled, users cannot interact with it, select a color, or change its current value. This is useful for guiding users, enforcing business rules, or preventing changes under certain conditions.

Input​

  • UI element (PART): The specific "Color Input Field" component on your form that you want to disable. This input is mandatory. You must select an existing Color Input Field from your application's design.

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output value. Instead, its effect is visible directly on your application's user interface: the selected Color Input Field will become disabled.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical scenarios where you might use the "Disable Color Input Field" action:

Example 1: Disabling a color picker based on a user's choice​

Imagine you have an order form where customers can choose a custom color for a product, but only if they select the "Custom Design" option.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Product Custom Color Picker" (This is the color input field on your form)
  • Result: If the user selects "Standard Design," the "Product Custom Color Picker" field will automatically become grayed out and unusable, preventing them from selecting a custom color.

Example 2: Restricting color selection based on user permissions​

In an internal application, only administrators should be able to change the primary brand color for a project.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Project Brand Color Selector"
  • Result: For non-administrator users, the "Project Brand Color Selector" field will be disabled, ensuring they cannot modify the brand color.

Example 3: Temporarily disabling a color input during a workflow stage​

Consider a content creation workflow where a "Highlight Color" can only be chosen once the content has been approved.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Content Highlight Color"
  • Result: While the content is in the "Draft" or "Review" stage, the "Content Highlight Color" field will be disabled. It will only become active and editable once the content status changes to "Approved."
