readonly_fields

[tony gair]

I have tried to use readonly_fields in a form to designate fields that the user is not allowed to change.

class Meta 

        readonly_fields = [user]

e.g.

However when I show the form the user can edit them.....doh, btw I do want to display, but not to edit!

Where are you setting that? readonly_fields is for ModelAdmin when you are working with the admin app.

If you want to do it in a normal form, you will need to set readonly attribute on the widget.

Ah thanks that explains that.... I'll look into changing the readonly attribute on the widget, is there a list of widgets do you know as some of these are choice fields i.e. non text and non integer fields

It's all in the documentation:
