scottj2 Page layouts - edit vs. detail
Hi All,
I have a need the need to make an edit page display slightly differently than the detail page, but the page layout editor does not allow this. In this example, I have a formula field called "Full Name" that concatenates first and last name of an account, and that formula field is displayed on the Page Layout. The problem is that, when a user clicks edit the "Full Name" field is hidden because obviously it's read only. My problem is that I want them to be able to still edit the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields. If I add those fields to the page layout, they're shown on the detail page...there doesn't seem to be a way to hide a field from the detail page, but show it on the edit page. There is also no way of changing to a different page layout when the user clicks edit.
Any advice other than visualforce? I've pretty much built visualforce pages for absolutely everything, and I want to steer clear of it in this case as it's the most basic page we have (ie. the Account page).
its is not possible to hide a field in Detail page and edit it on Edit Page. only Option Visual force page.
Thanks....man oh man am I ever sick of creating visualforce pages for the most basic of pages.
