Novice Question Here. Can anyone explain the different between setting a component in Application Studio to “Disabled” versus “Read Only” in Application Studio?
Read only controls can still be focused and are functional, you just cannot edit the value.
Disabled controls cannot be focused or used.
Here’s a good read on it: HTML attribute: readonly - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN (mozilla.org)

Hannah - I recently had a Text Box on a UD form that I made “Read Only” and initially the user could not enter a value manually, however after they did a save they could go back to the “Read Only” text box and click in the box and update. I was surprised this was allowed since it was read only. I had to change to “Disabled” to prevent users from updating.

If you can replicate it consistently, submit it to support.
Otherwise, you can just go with disabled.
I can replicate it so will submit to support. I wasn’t sure if I was doing something wrong and was searching the user group before I did when I ran across this post.

Same issue here. Read only appears to be totally broken.
Another really sketchy issue is that some of the total order fields appear to be editable by default in the order entry screen. I had to manually make them disabled.
