## Description

Easily add a universal “Read Only” option to any Gravity Forms field. This plugin
adds a checkbox to every supported field in the Gravity Forms editor, allowing you
to make any field read-only on the frontend. Includes a tooltip warning to avoid
using required or merge-tag default values with read-only fields.

### Features

 * Adds a “Read Only” checkbox to all supported Gravity Forms fields in the form
   editor
 * Shows a tooltip warning about not using “Required” or merge tags as default value
 * Makes any supported field type (text, textarea, select, checkbox, radio, etc.)
   read-only/disabled on the frontend if enabled
 * Excludes unsupported field types (hidden, html, captcha, page, section, form,
   fileupload) from the Read Only option
 * Optimized for all supported field types and easy to maintain
 * Adds subtle styling to read-only fields for better user experience
 * Fully translatable and ready for localization

### Usage

 * Only supported field types will show the “Read Only” option.
 * Read-only fields are visually styled and cannot be edited by users on the frontend.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Easily make any supported field read-only with a single checkbox. Here, the ‘
   Name’ field is being made read-only.
 * [[
 * The same simplicity applies to all supported field types, including ‘Paragraph’
   fields.
 * [[
 * This is how the ‘Name’ field will appear to users on the front end—uneditable
   and clearly marked as read-only.
 * [[
 * The ‘Paragraph’ field, when set to read-only, is also disabled on the front end,
   preventing any user input.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate this plugin.
 2. Make sure Gravity Forms is installed and activated.
 3. Edit any Gravity Form. In the field settings, check the “Read Only” box to make
    a field read-only.
 4. The field will be read-only/disabled on the frontend for all users.

## FAQ

### Why can’t I make some fields read-only?

The plugin intentionally excludes certain field types (hidden, html, captcha, page,
section, form, fileupload) from the Read Only option, as these are not user-editable
or not suitable for read-only status.

### Can I use this with required fields?

It is not recommended to use the “Required” option or merge tags as the default 
value for read-only fields. This may cause required field errors if the value is
empty.
