I am trying to create a custom for that will allow a user to change a small subset of Employee fields: Email Address & three specific User Fields. In UI Designer, I created a form with the Email Address, and added a Detail Area control that presents all the User Fields.

How can I modify the Detail Area Control to only display specific User Fields, instead of all of them?

If this is the wrong approach, can you suggest a better way to design what I'm trying to do?

TIA...ChuckM

You have a couple of options as I see it:
You can try to use Security rules to limit what users have access to, or
You can add empty text fields and build the labels and values that you want to display. you will have to use DME calls to load the values and AGS calls to update them.

Start with a blank form with no fields, and just add the ones you need. Why using a detail section?

Thanks, David. Now I'm struggling with using "DME calls to load the values". I haven't been able to find any complete examples.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but rather than customizing HR11, why not make the fields required to be changed via a personnel action, and then create the personnel action with those fields?
