Can't validate value of disabled field in AEM

Avatar

Level 4

Hi,

I am created some fields in AEM as textfield with required Boolean = true . So I am using javaScript to disable that field when the user checked to a checkbox fields.

Example: propertyName and city are mandatory fields. required Boolean = true

$("coral-select[name='./ppdPropertySelect']").prop("disabled", true);

$("#syndft").change(function(){

var checked=this.checked;

if(checked==true) // "this" refers to the element that fired the event

    {

          $("coral-select[name='./ppdPropertySelect']").prop("disabled", false);

          //disable sync field

        $("input[name='./propertyName']").prop("disabled", true);

          $("coral-select[name='./city']").prop("disabled", true);

    }else{

          $("coral-select[name='./ppdPropertySelect']").prop("disabled", true);

          //disable sync field

         $("input[name='./propertyName']").prop("disabled", false);

          $("coral-select[name='./city']").prop("disabled", false);

    }

});

I have a javascript to auto fill data in to propertyName and city. The field have a data but it doesn't pass the validation as attached image.

The AEM have the errors when I using disabled fields as below.

When I remove the code disabled field, it work fine.

Why AEM have error and wrong validation with disabled fields?

How to fix it?

Thank you so much,

Can you share the package ?

Also can you make it readonly instead of disabled. That should work

Thank you so much,

The readonly can help me get the field value. However, It wrong when i want to validate the fields. Can't validate the readonly fields.

I am confused - if the field is read-only and a user cannot enter data into that given field - why validate a read only field?

I want to validate a read only field or disabled field because I must sync data from other site and fills it into our form. I don't want the user can edit the data when it sync form other site.

Thank for your help,
