Real-Life Examples​

Here are some scenarios where you might use the "Disable email input field" action:

Example 1: Preventing changes after form submission​

Imagine you have a contact form where users enter their email. Once they submit the form, you want to prevent them from accidentally changing the email address while reviewing their submission details.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Contact Email Address Field" (the email input field on your form)
  • Result: After the user clicks "Submit," the "Contact Email Address Field" on the review page becomes grayed out and uneditable, ensuring the submitted email remains unchanged.

Example 2: Conditional input based on user choice​

You have a newsletter subscription form. If a user selects "No" to receiving marketing emails, you want to disable the email input field to reflect that their email is not needed for this purpose.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Marketing Email Subscription Field" (the email input field for newsletter sign-up)
  • Result: When the user selects "No" for marketing emails, the "Marketing Email Subscription Field" is immediately disabled, preventing them from entering an email address for that specific purpose.

Example 3: Workflow step control​

In a multi-step application process, you might collect a primary contact email in the first step. For subsequent steps, you want to display this email but prevent any modifications to ensure consistency throughout the application.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Primary Applicant Email" (the email input field displayed in later steps)
  • Result: After the first step is completed, the "Primary Applicant Email" field in all subsequent steps is disabled, showing the collected email but not allowing any further edits.
