    Hi,

    Thank you for your query.

    Use Enable Rule (instead of Display Rule).

    Also, here is a related post (it does something else, but you will get some idea):

    Hi Ainsley,

    You can do this by adding enable rule for + or Add New Button.

    1. Open Child record customization in Ribbon workbench
    2. Select Entity so that we will able to modify command definition.
    3. In Sub Gird, select + Add New {0} Button, right click and select Customize Command.
    4.  Add New Enable Rule
    5. For Enable Rule.. Add steps, and select Custom Rule.

    Js code:

    function DisableSubGridNewButton() {

        if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() == 3) // Read Only

            return false;

        else

            return true;

    }
