What is test here? you might want to use allowed tag here so that perticulat user(s) will get this item read-only.

You can refer FormsPublisher guide which has explained it.

It will be populating value using inline.
<readonly><inline..../></readonly>

readonly element does not support inline but you can have callout inside readonly.

Refer : datacapture6.0.dtd

<!ELEMENT readonly (allowed?, callout?)>

<!ELEMENT hidden (allowed?, callout?)>
<!ATTLIST hidden
required (t | f) "f"
>

<!ELEMENT callout EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST callout
label CDATA #REQUIRED
url CDATA #IMPLIED
window-features CDATA #IMPLIED
>

<!ELEMENT inline EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST inline
command CDATA #REQUIRED
>

Hi,
The Metadata Capture Interface is not supporting the javascript so how to cope with callout and also how it will solve the 'readonly' issue as even for fix value it is not working.

Hi,

As per the DTD (which was posted) the readonly element only supports the containing of an allowed or callout sub-element - not an inline (*inline elements can appear in more places than the DTD describes as they are actually pre-processed) nor default text - which is what your inline script most likely was producing.

Instead - try declaring the item as readonly and as a text element with a default value - or from an inline - like:

<item name="id">
  <label>ID</label>
  <description>Image ID</description>
  <readonly/>
  <text>
    <default>some-value</default>
  </text>
</item>

<item name="id">
  <label>ID</label>
  <description>Image ID</description>
  <readonly/>
  <inline cmd="some-command"/>
</item>
