Why the hidden fields are displaying in edit submission mode?

Hi,

On Form 52745887899988, is a date field that shows the current date, it is set to read only. It has come to our attention that in the edit mode that date can be changed. This is not something that we want the user to be able to do. Now I really didn't do a full test, i just to the day and month and was able to change the value. I didn't try and re-submit it. 

1. Why can a read only field be edited?

2. How can we prevent this?

If I were to make the field hidden would that work? 

Regards, Robert

I tried hiding it and it shows up in edit mode. 

What if I did css display: none will the date still be on the integrated sheet?

Please be noted that the hidden fields are displayed in the edit submission view only when you are logged into your account. If the submission is being edited by your users, the hidden fields will not be displayed on the form. If you still do not want to display the hidden fields when you are editing the submission while logged into your account, you may consider setting up a condition to hide the field.

Hope this information helps!  

Hi, Thank you for the clarification ... Robert
