Excellent - that fixed it! Good lessons learned here. Thanks so much for your help on this, Zach. For anyone’s future reference, below is the “final” version of my custom picklist renderer.
var field = arguments[0], value = skuid.utils.decodeHTML(arguments[1]); userModel = skuid.model.getModel('User'), userRow = userModel.getFirstRow(), userRole = userModel.getFieldValue(userRow,'Contact.Current_Role__c'), isTeacher = (userRole == 'Teacher'), grpModel = skuid.model.getModel('Guided Reading Plan'), grpRow = grpModel.getFirstRow(); // Prevent teachers from making any edits if the status is approved by forcing the mode to read-only if ((value === 'Reviewed & Approved') && isTeacher) { field.editable = false; field.mode = 'read'; } if (field.mode == 'edit') { var picklistEntries = field.metadata.picklistEntries; picklistEntries.length = 0; // if you don't do this, then the "real" values are already in the picklist and the code below will add duplicate values // if there is no record yet, add a default value. NOTE: when the page is saved, the grp model is only saved when the value in this field is not blank. I am NOT using the Skuid field property "Add 'None' Option" because I only want this option to appear when there isn't already a record. if (skuid.model.isNewId(grpRow.Id)) { picklistEntries.push( { value: '', label: '-- Select a Status to Create --', defaultValue: false, active: true } ); } // create picklist values for the basic statuses picklistEntries.push( { value: 'Working', label: 'Working', defaultValue: false, active: true }, { value: 'Ready for Review', label: 'Ready for Review', defaultValue: false, active: true } ); // create picklist values for the review/approval statuses if the user is not a teacher if (!isTeacher) { picklistEntries.push( { value: 'Reviewed & Approved', label: 'Reviewed & Approved', defaultValue: false, active: true }, { value: 'Reviewed & Needs Changes', label: 'Reviewed & Needs Changes', defaultValue: false, active: true } ); } } // Run the standard picklist renderer for the given mode skuid.ui.fieldRenderers[field.metadata.displaytype][field.mode](field,value);
