serReadonly function in TS721

jayantb

We have migrated from TS6.5 to TS7.2.1. We are using setReadOnly function to make some fields read-only while loading the Form. but somehow it's not working for First field of the form. It becomes editable at the begining.
If we click anywhere on the form, the files becomes read-only there after.
Same thing happens when I edit the existing DCR.

Note:- This is the issue with the only First field of the template. Below other fields are getting set to read-only properly while loading.

Appreciate any thought on this.

This is a known issue and has been for some time.
The quick-fix is to put a hidden element in the DCT as the actual first element in the DCT. E.g.: [html]

[/html]With the above, you should then be able to have FormAPI make "first_item" read-only.
