Read only field on custom form

Hi all,

I am using 2.23 revision 23051 2016-08-03 17:41

I have a custom form for which I want data element value to be read-only.

I have tried various ways but cannot seem to find the exact fit. Current source code is like this:

Also tried readonly=”true” which does seem to work halfway because it still allows the removal and editing of the value but does not store the changed value and then gives a “Data stored offline” message in the UI and asking if you want to sync the offline data. If you say yes it just runs and runs. Only way to clear the message is to clear browser cache. We don’t really want to use this option because then we need to teach them to clear browser cache when they still have data stored offline to get rid of that message which is contrary to usual training.

Can anyone assist with the code to make the data element value read only on a custom form please?

Regards,

Elmarie Claasen
