Check box field (checked to true) is read - only after the form is saved

[Sunayana4]

I have a check box field where it should be read only (checked true) after the form is saved I tried writing a UI policy when check box is true, it is read - only. But this is the requirement - after enabling (after saving) this option once, field has to become non editable to not disabled it in the future

Which form is this built on?

Can you provide a screenshot?

Is this a Request users can submit or an Incident?  Making a checkbox on a form read only when checked is going to prevent them from unchecking it prior to submitting/saving the record.  

If you are making it read only after it is checked...The UI Policy is doing what it is designed to do.  Now, if you only want it read only after they are finished and submitted or saved then you may want to change to a Client Script.  

Use an onSubmit client script and use the g_form.setReadOnly('checkbox_variable_name') to make it read only AFTER it's submitted versus while they are still using the form.
