How to keep field selection locked even if clear button pressed

[#1]

is there an easy way to do this or do I have to use macros, variables, etc.?

[#2]

you need to make the selection you want to lock, then right botton and then lock., to unlock, same thing but with unlock.

greetings!!

the problem is that if the user clicks on clear, the locked fields also get cleared.

No, it does not, post your app and I´ll lock it if you wuant.

Usually when you lock the selection and click on Clear. The locked selection stay selected.

You can also set a trigger to automatically lock a field when the user opens the document.

As scott-phl said, you can set a trigger to do this.  There is also another way.

Try this.

1. Clear all selections

2. Make the selections you want

3. Using the drop down under the 'Clear' button, select 'Set Clear State'

Now, whenever the user hits the clear button the selections you made will automatically be applied

Just lock it again by trigger if the user unlocks it...

Document Properties --> Field Event Trigger --> choose the field(s) --> OnUnlock --> Action: Lock Field.
