Sorry I didn't follow you.

namevalue pair field will be readonly but after form has been saved then field will be non read only . ???

Can you explain again when the field has to be editable and when will it be non editable?

[Shreya Nagar]

once form has been saved field should be non editable

You can try something like this

 if (!g_form.isNewRecord()) {
        g_form.setReadOnly('field name', true);
    }

This basically checks if it is a new record, will only make it read only if it is not a new record

@Shreya Nagar 

you are saying

once form has been saved field should be non editable  -> so it means user should not edit on existing record

What happens when it's new record? It should be allowed for editing

you can use onLoad client script and determine if it's new record or not

function onLoad(){

	if(!g_form.isNewRecord()){
		g_form.setReadOnly('fieldName', true);
	}

}

I have tried above code but when form has been saved then name value pair field will be editable , As per my requirement after form has been saved then name value pair field should be read only .
