Numeric Text Field Editable AND Protected Mode

Ignition
1

I am wanting to set the Editable property based on user role but also enable Protected Mode so the user has to double click the Numeric Text Field to make a change. Basically, I want to set Protected Mode to true and bind Editable to a user role.

However these properties seem to be mutually exclusive. In other words, if I set Protected Mode to true, Editable goes false and vice versa. If Protected Mode is set true, Editable cannot be set true. Is there a way for me to accomplish this? I am running v7.9.0.

Instead of binding the Enabled property, you should be able to make use of component Security Settings https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Component+and+Window+Security
