It is possible to set column properties ReadOnly and Visible in scripts. However, you cannot enable the column for display or editing, if this is disabled directly in the column definition. The column can be only hidden or disabled for editing.
If you want to control columns by scripts fully, you have to enable the column for insert and editing and display it in the form or records overview.
Use the indication Mandatory, if the column shall be mandatory only in some cases. Leave the column non-mandatory in the column definition and set its mandatority by a script according to the needs.
