Disable modification of Hide when settings on RichText Fields 
You may have noticed that IdeaJam now looks a bit different. That's because we are testing out some new themes that will be included with IdeaJam V2.0 coming in 2012. If you have any feedback about the new themes we would be happy to hear what you have to say. Please drop us a note.
Use this IdeaSpace to post ideas about the Notes Client.

In the Notes Client, users can modify the hide when settings in a RichText field.
In multiple cases, it is preferred that the complete richttext item inherits the settings as designed in the form.
My idea is to add a flag to the field properties to disable the modification of hide when settings in a richtext field by the enduser.  For compatibility reasons, this flag should be switched off.

I used to have this problem when I started with Notes, but you soon learn. I have used hide whens in rich text fields many times to have the content reflect current environment.

The problem is when there is a hide when on the field and in the field they sometimes interact.

How would the end user know that they can't add a hide-when?

I agree 100%. I would suggest the number of times a user actually wants to add a hide-when formula to rich text would be < 0.0001% (On a good day).

I agree with Peter. I don't think there are many cases a user wants to add or modify a hide-when intentionally. But then you could display a message box if it's disabled anyway.

I never thought it to be a sensible feature.

Should not be that easy... everythings richtext in notes ;o) - But indeed: Almost no user needs to manipulate hide/when while editing richtext-items!
