How to block a field using the REST API?

Question

Bitrix24

BX24.callMethod(
      "crm.contact.fields", 
      {}, 
      function(result) 
      {
        if(result.error())
          console.error(result.error());
        else
          console.dir(result.data());
      }
    );

Using such a query, you can get the fields and their properties, including the "isreadonly" property (read-only): if its value is true, then this field cannot be edited, if false, then you can. How can this property be changed using the REST API ?

You need to use the crm.lead.userfield.update method to set the EDIT_IN_LIST property to N (disabled) or Y (active). Example (js):

BX24.callMethod(
        `crm.${fieldsSet}.userfield.update`,
        {
            id: id,
            fields:
                {
                    'EDIT_IN_LIST': makeEditable
                }
        },
        function(result)
        {
            if(result.error()){
                console.error("ERROR: " + result.error());
            }
            else
            {
                console.dir(result.data());
            }
        }
    );

*fieldsSet variable can take values ​​lead, company, etc.

In any way) this is the meaning of the field, that you cannot change it in any way. Most likely, the field has a complex recording logic, and if you just change only it, then everything can break down, so they don’t let you change it directly, and in order to change it, you need to understand how it is formed / recorded and at this stage something to do with it. What field do you want to change?
