Custom Content Model

[Craig Nelson]

I am working on a custom content model that has a property of document status. The allowed values are Pending, approved, paid, exported. 

When a document is uploaded the document is automatically marked as pending and the user can mark it as approved. 

There is a script that runs nightly that will export the metadata to a third party system and mark it as Exported. 

My question is how can I make it so that a user can only mark the document as pending or approved But they can not change it after it has been marked as exported or paid.

Any answers will be much appreciated. 

Thanks

Craig

One way to do this would be to override the control for that particular property to point to a custom control that outputs non editable text when the field has that value, otherwise it produces the drop down.

Jeff, 

Thanks for the advice. I am posting my code on here for others to see. 

I created this control by taking the selectone.ftl and changing the control. I put in bold the changes I made to it below

<#include "/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/common/utils.inc.ftl" />

<#if field.control.params.optionSeparator??>

   <#assign optionSeparator=field.control.params.optionSeparator>

<#else>

   <#assign optionSeparator=",">

</#if>

<#if field.control.params.labelSeparator??>

   <#assign labelSeparator=field.control.params.labelSeparator>

<#else>

   <#assign labelSeparator="|">

</#if>

<#assign fieldValue=field.value>

<#if fieldValue?string == "" && field.control.params.defaultValueContextProperty??>

   <#if context.properties[field.control.params.defaultValueContextProperty]??>

      <#assign fieldValue = context.properties[field.control.params.defaultValueContextProperty]>

   <#elseif args[field.control.params.defaultValueContextProperty]??>

      <#assign fieldValue = args[field.control.params.defaultValueContextProperty]>

   </#if>

</#if>

<div class="form-field">

   <#if form.mode == "view">
