Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2011-02-08 16:34:40 EST 
The SingleSelectionAttributeEditor should react on changes to metadata.readonly as part of a refresh. The usecase is to have an operation which required some fields to be set (eg. Resolve requires a resolution). I'd love to have the resolution field disabled (readonly) if it doesn't make sense to set a value there (or not even allowed) and to enable it once an operation is selected that requires a resolution.

Bug 331154 added a new flag to control enablement but it's currently only supported by operations. We couldn't easily toggle between a presentation for read only mode and a mode that allows modification since the framework uses different controls for rendering but we could work around that through using control enablement. Would that work for you? And if so, would you be able to provide a patch :)?

Makes way more sense to have a dedicated disabled state (disabled combo is better than textfield for this case). Will come up with a patch, we have to tackle all TaskAttribute editors with this change or should we limit it to the SingleSelectionEditor for now?

We can do it incrementally.
