Special choices should not be visible if we prevent adding new items in onCollectionItemsAllowOperations function

[JaneSjs]

Update The following code could be used to achieve it:

import { settings } from "survey-core";
settings.showDefaultItemsInCreatorV2 = false;

The new creator.onCollectionItemsAllowOperations -> options.allowAdd option (https://github.com/surveyjs/survey-creator/issues/3923) allows to prevent users from adding new items. However, if the question disables the None and Other options, these options should not be visible when we prevent users from adding new choices.

creator.onCollectionItemAllowOperations.add((function(sender, options){
        if(options.propertyName === 'choices'){
            options.allowDelete = false;
            options.allowEdit = false;
            options.allowAdd = false;    
        }
}));

 creator.JSON = {
        elements: [
            {
                type: "radiogroup",
                name: "question1",
                showOtherItem: false,
                showNoneItem: false,
                choices: [
                    { value: 0, text: "Item 1" },
                    { value: 1, text: "Item 2" },
                    { value: 2, text: "Item 3" },
                    { value: 3, text: "Item 4" },
                    { value: 4, text: "Item 5" }
                ]
            },
            {
                type: "radiogroup",
                name: "question2",
                showOtherItem: false,
                showNoneItem: false,
                choices: [
                    { value: 0, text: "Option 1" },
                    { value: 1, text: "Option 2" },
                    { value: 2, text: "Option 3" }
                ]
            }
        ]
    };

Special choices could be hidden in this event:

    creator.onSurveyInstanceCreated.add(function(sender, options) {
        //If we are creating a surface for designer surface
        if(options.reason == "designer") {
            options.survey.onShowingChoiceItem .add(function (sender, options){
                if(options.question.choices.indexOf(options.item) == -1) {
                    options.visible = false;
                }
            });
        }
    });

T20331 - Disable removing of choices and choice suggestions https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/internal/ticket/details/T20331

---

The following issues exist: View Demo The allowDelete, allowEdit, and allowAdd options are disabled.

 creator.onCollectionItemAllowOperations.add((function(sender, options){
            if(options.propertyName === 'choices'){
                options.allowDelete = false;
                options.allowEdit = false;
                options.allowAdd = false;    
            }
}));

Still, it is possible to add, remove, or edit choices via a property grid and the batch editor.

P.S. Let's wait till a user's scenario clarification.

The creator.onGetPropertyReadOnly disables choice editing: View Plunker.

However, those special (Other, None, Select All) options are still rendered though they do not actually exist.

To hide these choices, handle the following function: View Demo.

 creator.onSurveyInstanceCreated.add(function(sender, options) {            
        if(options.area == "designer-tab") {
            options.survey.onShowingChoiceItem.add(function (sender, options){
                if(options.question.choices.indexOf(options.item) == -1) {
                    options.visible = false;
                }
            });
        }
});
creator.JSON = {};

I'm reopening this issue again to discuss.

The problem with the following setting is that it disables special/default items for all questions.

import { settings } from "survey-core";
settings.showDefaultItemsInCreatorV2 = false;

Perhaps, we should actually consider hiding special choices when a question's editing is disabled via the following code: View Demo.

creator.onElementAllowOperations.add((sender, options) => {
   options.allowEdit = false; // Disable element editing
});

The issue was recently reported at T21107 - None and other itemvalue does not get disabled style.
