On Create Page, not able to grey out an attribute value using API

[Kanchana]

Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: Unable to grey out an attribute using API

Description:

Wrote a Validator for the Color classification attribute to make the value Read only.  

However, I want to make the Color Classification Attribute similar to Name Extension attribute.

I did &jcaDebug on the attribute. DefaultDataUtility is showing. Checked for create page wizard jsp page. Also checked for GUIComponent.

Any suggestion on this?

Hi @Kanchana,

Is there any specific reason for making the attribute read-only using a validator, when this can be achieved through configuration itself?

Do you want the attribute to be greyed out rather than unassignable?

[Kanchana]

Through Configuration, I checked it under Cascading rules. Was not able to do.

Yes, I want it greyed out rather than Unassignable 

[TDT · Accepted solution]

Read Only i.e Unassignable can be controlled using the Visibility feature in Type and Attribute Management.

If you want the attribute to be grayed out, it can be implemented through a data utility.

Use the following API to make the attribute non-editable

AttributeInputComponent attributeInputComponent =
    ((AttributeInputCompositeComponent) object).getValueInputComponent();
attributeInputComponent.setEditable(false);

Thanks! Let me give a try.
