Read only variables from Form not available in workflow

Workflow Forms
Updated October 13, 2017
asked on October 13, 2017 • Show version history

I have an employee evaluation form that as a reviewer fills out, javascript picks up the rankings, summarizes and scores the results into a table on another page of the form.   

If I make the summary table fields read only (as we need it) the variables are not available in workflow.   In my workflow I can iterate over the table rows, and workflow sees the correct number of rows, but the data fields are empty.   If the table fields are not read only, everything works fine.

Are read only form variables really not available to workflow?   Is there any work around for this?

Forms Version: Version 10.2.1.157  Workflow: 10.2.0.202

Thanks,

Andrew

Apparently read only table fields filled via javascript do not have the data carried forward.   The fields need to be set read only via javascript.

Hi Andrew,

It sounds like you checked the 'read-only' checkbox for the field in the field options. This not only makes the field read-only, but also adds the disabled attribute to the field, preventing the value from being submitted. 

The workaround is to use JavaScript to set the readonly attribute instead of using the checkbox

$(".ro input").attr("readonly", true);
