You cannot specify or override the colModel properties during navigation (i.e. navGrid). You need to attack it during the beforeShowForm event:

        .navGrid(item + 'Pager',
            { refresh: true, edit: true, add: true, del: true, search: false }, //options
            {height: 280, width: 500,
            reloadAfterSubmit: true,
            modal: true,
            processData: 'Updating the data...',
            editCaption: 'Edit data,

            beforeShowForm: function(form) {
                $('#Password.FormElement').hide();
            }
        }, // edit options
            {height: 280, width: 500,
            reloadAfterSubmit: true,
            modal: true,
            processData: 'Adding the new data...',
            addCaption: 'Add new data',
            beforeShowForm: function(form) {
                $('#Password.FormElement').show();
            }
        }, // add options

Added ".FormElement" class in case you have another field on your screen with the same id, less chance of a selector clash. Of course you can ommit it or search within the form window also: form.find('#FirstName').hide();

Hi,

Im just started using jqgrid and its great but i can't find out how i can make a field editable in add form dialog and not in edit dialog. It seems that when changing edit dialog it also effects the add dialog. How can i make a field visible and editable in add dialog and not visible/editable in edit dialog?

For example i want this field to behave like that:

{ name: 'Password', index: 'Password', hidden: true, edittype: 'password', editable: true, editoptions: { size: 25 }, formoptions: { elmsuffix: '(*)' }, editrules: { edithidden:'true', required: 'true'} },
