Is there a way to gray that field out so users don't change the subject line

When responding to an existing thread, users can change the subject line in the wysiwyg.  Is there a way to gray that field out so users don't change the subject line?

 

Thanks,

 

Kyle

Yep, you'll want to make this change in the /template/forums/postform.ftl of your theme as well.  Search for the subject01 input and replace it with this:

 

<input type="hidden" name="subject" size="75" maxlength="255"  id="subject01"
                 value="${replySubject!?html}" />
<input type="text" value="${replySubject!?html}" disabled />

Hey Kyle,

 

Can we make this case public? It seems like a useful customization that other users could make on their own.

 

Thanks,

Vinh

To better serve our customers we have included functionality to automatically follow up on a case after it has been idle for more than 5 days, and then auto close after an additional 3 days of inactivity. Choose No to acknowledge that this case will remain idle for longer than 5 days.
Making cases public allows other customers to learn from the solution of the case. It can also be used to gain feedback from others in the community. Ask our Support Engineers for more info, but we encourage you to make your cases public.
