Gravity Forms Read Only Perk

Making Fields Non-Editable

The Gravity Forms Read Only Perk by Gravity Perks empowers you to transform specific form fields into read-only mode. This means users can see the pre-populated information in those fields but cannot edit or change it.

Benefits of Read-Only Fields:

• Displaying Information: This functionality is useful for presenting essential information to users without allowing them to modify it. Examples include terms of service, privacy policies, or pre-filled customer data based on previous interactions.
• Improved User Experience: Pre-populated read-only fields can streamline the form filling process by reducing the need for users to enter repetitive information.

How to Enable Read-Only Mode:

1. Access the Form Editor: Navigate to the Gravity Forms form editor for the specific form you want to modify.
2. Select the Field: Choose the field you want to make read-only. Supported field types include most standard options like text, email, paragraph text area, etc., with the exception of HTML, CAPTCHA, Hidden, Page, and Section fields.
3. Activate Read-Only Perk: Click on the “Perks” tab within the chosen field’s settings. Locate and check the “Read-Only” checkbox.
4. Set Default Value (Optional): In the “Advanced” tab, you can optionally specify a default value for the read-only field. Use the “Merge Tags” icon to insert dynamic content based on other form entries or user information.

Technical Functionality:

When the form loads, the Read-Only Perk identifies fields marked as read-only. It injects the “readonly” HTML attribute directly into the input or textarea tag during field markup generation by Gravity Forms. This approach eliminates the need for additional JavaScript to manage the read-only state after the form renders.

In essence, the Gravity Forms Read Only Perk provides a convenient way to control user interaction with specific form fields. By making them read-only, you can display crucial information while preventing unintended modifications
