Editable Smart Fields and Content Control in Read-Only Clauses

Contract managers can now edit smart fields and apply custom content control within read-only clauses, while the clause language remains uneditable to maintain compliance. The APTS_EditableSmartCCInReadonlyClause setting determines whether smart fields in read-only clauses are editable or behave as merge fields, based on the Retain field property configuration. Read-only fields remain unaffected and always display as plain text.

For new customers:
APTS_EditableSmartCCInReadonlyClauseRetain Field Property Behavior
TRUE
  • If the Retain Field Property toggle is ON, the original field property (smart or read-only) will be applicable.

FALSE
  • If the Retain Field Property toggle is ON, the original field property (smart or read-only) will be applicable.

  • If the Retain Field Property toggle is OFF, the field will be a merge field.

For existing customers:
APTS_EditableSmartCCInReadonlyClauseRetain Field Property Behavior
TRUEThe "APTS Editable Smart Read Only Clause Properties" setting applies only to smart fields. Read-only fields are unaffected by this setting and always behave as merge or plain text.
