Hi,
Sorry, I'm not clear on exactly what behaviour you're seeing, and what
you're expecting - can you clarify?

Are you expecting the read_only field value to be saved to the database?

All the read_only option does is cause update/create to not update the
column corresponding to that field.

In the most basic use, it doesn't need force_default or retain_default
to be set - so can you explain what you're wanting that to do?

Cheers,
Carl
