/* field.entry ( true_or_false_or_readOnly ) by Fabrice Nordmann v1. Mar 2026 Makes it easier to write calculations in the Field Entry option of the inspector */ Let ( p = true_or_false_or_readOnly ; Case ( IsEmpty ( p ) ; 1 ; // allow (default) GetAsBoolean ( p ) ; 1 ; // allow p = "readOnly" or p = "read only" or p = "ro" or Left ( p ; 1 ) = "r" ; 2 ; // read only 0 // no entry ) ) Click to copy

FileMaker 2026 introduces the field entry option, but remembering the expected values (0: no entry, 1 : read and write, 2: read-only) is not something my brain can afford anymore.
