Hi thanks for this nice tip,
i’m having the same problems as Elmer.
I tried this with a Task List. Added a new Task with priority = “(3)low”. Set “priority” to Read-Only. Opened the taskitem again with editform.aspx : “priority” was readonly – so the script is working well. But when i did some changes to the other fields of the taskitem, “priority” was set to “(1)high”.

any ideas ?

I tried this javascript as indicated in image #3, using SPD and the correct form and textbox names for my list. It did make the field readonly but it deletes the previous content of the readonly field after I save my other changes through the EditForm. Please let me know if I’m missing something.
