Hi Karunakar,

You can of course set a field to both Read-Only and Mandatory, however the Read-Only part will "win-out" against it. Meaning, even if there isn't a value in the field, you could still save the record. Just like Mandatory will win out over Visible.

I would rarely recommend using the checkboxes on the Dictionary Entry to set Read-Only and Mandatory, instead I'd recommend using a UI Policy.

I think there are very few use cases for making something Read-Only and Mandatory. One I can think of is if you want to ensure a field is always Mandatory, and there are cases that would change whether or not it is Read Only, but even then, I would think you could have the Mandatory set to true/false with the opposite of the same condition as the Read Only being set to true/false.

Is there a specific use-case you had in mind, or did you just want some thoughts on this? Let me know if I can assist further. 

If my answer was helpful or answered your question, please mark it as 'Helpful' or 'Correct'

Thanks!

Josh
