readonly field in "Create new entry" form

rshun

How can I create readonly fields for First Name and Last Name in "Create new entry" form?

Read the docs.

I try
editor.disable(['RecordDate']);

and

label: "Record Date:",
name: "RecordDate",
type: 'readonly',

other fields (Datetime field and checkbox field) not working properly.

I follow this example https://editor.datatables.net/examples/api/checkbox.html
to create checkbox field.

It is working if readonly field not in the form.

When readonly field in the form, I try to edit checkbox field. I will not send edit to server.

I'm not clear what the issue is, but here's an example with that read-only field. field().disable() is another option too - see the position field.

If that doesn't help, please can you update the example to demonstrate your issue,

I added MV field. This is boolean.

If you try to change checkbox in the table.

edit will not send to server.

Your code looks the same as this example, so it should be working fine. Are you able to link to your page so we can take a look?

I have a workaround solution

Since my Record Date always today,

label: 'Record Date:',
name: '',
def: convertToDate(new Date()),
type: 'readonly'

In server (C#), 
editor.PreCreate += (sender, e) => editor.Field("RecordDate").SetValue(today);

That can avoid ajax to post back the value of RecordDate causing problem.
