A read-only editor resets client values to initial server values

What Changed

The value of a read-only editor is not saved to the server and is reset to the initial server value.

Reasons for Change

In previous versions, a read-only editor value could be changed by using client-side APIs. When a control obtains a cell value from the client, modified data is saved to the server.

Impact on Existing Apps

This change affects your application if it includes a data editor in read-only mode.

How to Change the Default Behavior

We introduced the BackwardCompatibilitySettings.DataEditorsPreventLoadClientValuesForReadOnlyControls property with its default value set to true. Set this property to false to return to the previous behavior.
