Hello Experts,
I have the field in two places on the form (in different sections). How to make it read-only in one section? Is this possible? Please suggest.
Thanks
thiru.

Hi
You cannot set the same field to be read only in one section and editable in another section.
You may only achieve this via DOM but that is not recommended by ServiceNow.
Just create a duplicate field for your scenario.
Mark as correct and helpful if it solved your query.
