Lookups no longer work with read-only forms?

asked on January 4, 2021

I was trying to make a form with a lookup table that was editable, but it will not allow you to remove rows from a lookup table. So I had to copy the form and remove the lookup and create a review form which they click accept, to disconnect the lookup.

Now I want the review form to be read-only, since they should not be editing until they have full edit capabilities. But when I make it read-only the lookup is disabled now.

I was looking on answers for confirmation but I see posts where people are making fields read only for lookup fields no problem. Did this change, how do I have a lookup connected to a table that is editable? The lookup is only used to gather the data at the first step.

I found you can switch from populated by lookup to range of rows and it allows removing rows as well as adding rows.

It seems the only difference between range and populated is the ability to remove rows (but all other edits can be made)

Still confused why a lookup wouldn't apply to a read-only form though

Is the field read-only using script?
