"cq:showOnCreate": true,

"jcr:title": "Page type",

"sling:resourceType": "granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fieldset",

"items": {

"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",

"pagetitle": {

"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",

"cq:showOnCreate": true,

"name": "./pageType",

"class": "cq-dialog-dropdown-showhide",

"cq-msm-lockable": "pageType",

"disabled": true,

"cq-dialog-dropdown-showhide-target": ".carousel-option-listfrom-showhide-target",

"fieldLabel": "Page Type",

"sling:resourceType": "granite/ui/components/foundation/form/select",

You can make a drop-down field read only by using this property:

See:

Try this for yourself by installing this package on 6.3 and setting the prop shown in pic: Adobe Experience Manager Help | Using an WCMUsePojo class to populate an Experience Manager Touch UI...

Hi smacdonald2008​,

Thanks for your response. If you check my question i have added this property in my dialog and it's showing disabled to me but when i cancel the inheritance i'm able to update the dropdown down value. Is it expected behaviour ?

Hi, 

I'm facing the same issue. I have dropdown in page properties, if i use disabled="true" then the field is becoming read only in pages. But this field and its value are not saved in crx/de in jcr:content of the page. Does anyone know solution.
