Disable url input field

Function: Disable URL Input Field​

This action allows you to make a specific URL input field on your application's form uneditable and inactive. This is useful when you want to temporarily prevent users from entering or changing a URL, perhaps based on other selections they've made or the current state of the application.

Input​

  • UI element (Required): The specific URL input field component on your form that you wish to disable. You will select this directly from your application's design interface.

Output​

This action does not produce any direct output values that can be used in subsequent steps. Its effect is a direct change to the user interface, making the selected URL input field inactive.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

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

Example 1: Conditional Form Logic​

Imagine you have a form where users can either upload a document or provide a link to an external document. If the user chooses to upload, you want to disable the URL input field.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "External Document Link" (the specific URL input field on your form)
  • Result: When the user selects the "Upload Document" option, the "External Document Link" input field becomes grayed out and users cannot type or paste any URL into it.

Example 2: Preventing Edits After Submission​

After a user submits a project proposal, you want to ensure that the "Project Website" URL field cannot be changed.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Project Website" (the specific URL input field on the project proposal form)
  • Result: Once the proposal is submitted, the "Project Website" input field is disabled, preventing any further modifications to the URL.

Example 3: Role-Based Access Control​

In an internal application, only administrators should be able to modify the "Company Intranet Link" on a team profile page. For regular team members, this field should be disabled.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Company Intranet Link" (the specific URL input field on the team profile page)
  • Result: When a regular team member views the profile, the "Company Intranet Link" input field is disabled and cannot be edited. Only administrators, through a separate action, would be able to enable and modify it.
