Yes Rob that is exactly what I have done. I have created a Panel set with a field editor and used the code from Moshe’s link. I have tried what you have suggested and made the field read only and turned off the cancel and save buttons. The status field is still showing as blank. I don’t have java experience so I’m just copying the code from the link and changing the picklist names to match the field. Like I said the code works perfectly in an table layout and the icons show up.
Could it have anything to do with the var cellElem? In a table the fields are actual cells vs Field Editor called something else?
var $ = skuid.$,
field = arguments[0],
value = arguments[1];
var cellElem = field.element;
var iconElem =
$( ‘
’ ) // create the icon container
.addClass(‘ui-silk’) // mark the container as a silk icon container
.appendTo( cellElem ); // add the container to the cell
.addClass(‘ui-silk’) // mark the container as a silk icon container
.appendTo( cellElem ); // add the container to the cell
