Symptoms

Open UI SetState API to not able to maintain the State (hide a field, make a field readonly) after SetFieldValue is fired and field being updated has Immediate Post Changes = TRUE.

The team is cleaning up Open UI scripts using the recommendations in the Bookshelf document "Configuring Siebel Open UI", section "Control State Manipulation" in Chapter 12.

After updating the code to use SetState to change a control state such as hiding a field, the control is visible again after updating a field value in the same applet.   This behavior occurs when the field being updated has Immediate Post Changes = TRUE.
