Set Field Display Type Action

Use the Set Field Display Type action to change a field's display type. For example, use this action in an approval workflow to either disable the approval field, set it to inline, or hide it so only the current approver can modify the field.

For more information about executing the action dynamically if the record meets certain conditions, see Using Conditional Fields with Actions.

Note:

Workflow definitions require a trigger configuration that initiates the workflow, executes an action within a workflow or transitions the workflow from one state to another.

• For more information about which workflow triggers the Set Field Display Type action supports, see Workflow Triggers Quick Reference.

• To understand when different workflow triggers execute and which trigger you should use, see Workflow Triggers and the SuiteFlow Trigger Execution Model.
