On a form in dynamics crm (I set the field as readonly) , I set a field on load event of form as below :

Xrm.Page.getAttribute('description').setValue("2");

But when I go to view of the record, the field I set is still empty. So I tried the following code:

Xrm.Page.getAttribute('description').setValue("2");
Xrm.Page.getAttribute('description').setSubmitMode("dirty")

var save = true;
Xrm.Page.data.refresh(save);

But still it does not save the data.

Hi Babak,

As told by Guido, if you want to save a read-only field, you need to set the SubmitMode to be always which ensures the value is sent to the database.

Please try the following code.

Xrm.Page.getAttribute('description').setSubmitMode("always");
