setting a field in a replicant as readonly

pawlr

I've scoured the forums, manuals, etc. for what seems like a simple question but no luck..

I have a 2 nested replicants: "/sections[#]/clips[#]". There is a text field off the "clips" replicant called "track" that I need to set as "readOnly" when the DCR loads.

Ideally I would like to put it in the DCT tag itself, not in formAPI, but the <readonly> tags don't seem to work. <allowed>is not an option since that also seems to hide the field entirely.

Is there an "init()" function I can use to set these fields to be "readonly" when the DCR loads?

Using FormAPI you should be able to do this. Try some thing like the following in the init() function.

var item = IWDatacapture.getItem(....);
item.setReadOnly(false);
