• Create a form with both editable and read-only fields
• populate the underlying table with data (enter or import from .csv)
• assign a record to a user to download and edit in an iPad
• on the iPad, download the form and the data
• on the iPad, edit the data
• on the iPad, click on the left or right arrow links (< >) at the bottom of the edit screen
• on the iPad, keep clicking until your focus is on a read-only field

Expected: the read-only field is skipped, or is not editable
Actual: the read-only field can be edited and saved.

  Hi, Guy

  Thanks for the heads up. I've tested this out and do see the same result when using a text field with the "read-only" box checked. I will make the developers aware of the bug.

  I would suggest, in the meantime, instead of using the text field with the "read-only" box checked, that you use the Read Only widget as you will not run into this issue.

  Thanks again.

  Joe
