Mmm, which version are you working on?

I think you should try with this:

In London it works for all types I tested on.

This solution will not work for Name Value, this is a bug in the snow, for other fields your solution will work.

Seeing the same thing here.  I'd say it's a bug; ServiceNow would probably say it's just not supported yet :).  Either way, you can work around the issue with a client script.  It uses DOM manipulation, which I know is frowned upon, but this should be a great workaround until SN fixes or supports this for this field type.  Just change 'u_name_value' to the name of your field.  You could also change the 'elmt.disabled' line to 'elmt.hide()' if you just wanted to remove the +/- buttons instead of disabling them.

function onLoad() {
	setTimeout(readOnlyNameValue, 1000);
}

function readOnlyNameValue() {
	try {
		// Make the 'u_name_value' field read only
		var fieldName = 'u_name_value';
		var el = $('element.' + g_form.tableName + '.' + fieldName);
		// Disable inputs
		el.select('input').each(function(elmt) {
			elmt.disabled = true;
		});
		// Disable buttons
		el.select('button').each(function(elmt) {
			elmt.disabled = true;
		});
	} catch(e) {}	
}
