read only text box

[RYF]

I have a web enabled form with multiple views and a field called comments. I
have a repeating section with a multi line textbox for users to add comments
bound to the comments field. I want users to be able to see all the
comments and add their own on their view but not be able to edit others
comments. If I add the comments field to a view and make it read only they
can’t add anything, but if it’s not read only they can go back and edit what
was previously written.

Hi,

Add a repeating section and place the comment text box in that repeating
section. Use the following expression in conditional formatting of comment
text box to make it Read only.

count(following-sibling::my:Comment) > 0

Hi,
One way is like what santhosh said. Another way is add an attribute field to
the comments field and store the user name who is adding the comments. Put a
conditional formatting for the comments field if that attribute value is not
equal to the username() then make the field read only.
