How do you restrict column edit using APIs? I know there is the defaults object than can be passed in to create_column but how do I restrict column edit using that defaults object?

hi @creading001
Welcome to the community! I don’t think it is possible to restrict column edit through the API, it is frontend only. The defaults argument is used to set labels for status and dropdown columns, but can’t be used to set edit restrictions.
A related question: can I get an information via API whether the column is restricted or not?

Following up on Radosław’s question, does anyone know whether it is possible to retrieve information from API about column restriction (column editing / column view)?
Just a head’s up, this question would be better suited in the monday Apps & Developers category of the community which focuses on the API and building apps for monday.
According to the API docs, it doesn’t seem like this is possible! I tried to query settings_str to see if the permissions might be returned in there, but they are not.
Let us know if you have any other questions!
Best,
Rachel
Hi @rachelatmonday,
Thank you for the verification and response!
As it’s not yet possible, could we create a feature request? It would be great if API returned information about column restrictions / permissions.
Looks like there is an existing one here, so please add your vote to it!
Best,
Rachel
