Hmm. If you mark the control bound to the respective row set's field as
read-only, then you have a display-only control. Not sure this is what
you mean with a display-only field. ("field" and "control" are somewhat
ambiguous here.)
In such a case, the user will never be able to enter values into the
control, thus no changes to the field will be made, thus no attempt to
submit such changes to the database.
What I suppose the submitter of the issue ran into (unfortunately his
description wasn't clear here) is a NOT NULL field with a server-side
default - in this case, OOo wants to force him to enter a value,
nonetheless.
So, I ATM don't see a connection here to "read-only fields" - could you
elaborate?
Ciao
Frank
