Remarks

In v20.2, we changed the default value of this property to true. This change was made for security-related reasons. Refer to the following breaking change topic for more information: A read-only editor resets client values to initial server values.

Use the following example to revert to the previous behavior and allow editors to load read-only values from the client to the server.

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
