Setting 'readonly' attribute to fields

Hello,

I have to populate some fields before the users interact with the forms, and
then set them to readonly.
What I am currently doing without success is:

1- I get the form XML with a Http Get to
"http://localhost:8080/orbeon/fr/service/persistence/crud/myApp/myForm/data/myDocumentID/data.xml"

2- Fill the XML with the fields i want and set the readonly attribute to
"true()". Example of the XML:
<my_section>
        <name readonly="true()">JOHN</name>
        <lastname readonly="true()">DOE</lastname >
 </my_section>

3- Http Post to
"http://localhost:8080/orbeon/fr/service/myApp/myForm/edit/myDocumentID/"
with the header "Content-Type application/xml" and the XML in the request
body.

Then when I access the form, the data was set correctly (JOHN DOE) but the
fields are not readonly.
Is there something I can do?

hi cargilan,
the correct setting for readonly attribute is:

readonly="true" and not readonly="true()"

As mentioned by Fabio, in the data, I would use `readonly="true"` instead of
`readonly="true()"`. But, this by itself won't make the fields read-only.
You would need something more in the form definition that says that "if
there is an attribute `readonly="true"`, then the field is read-only". In
Form Builder, this could be done by setting the Read-Only formula to
`@readonly = 'true'`. You'll let me know if this helps.
