title: Form Transformations
summary: Provide read-only and disabled views of your Form data.
# Read-only and Disabled Forms
[api:Form] and [api:FormField] instances can be turned into a read-only version for things like confirmation pages or
when certain fields cannot be edited due to permissions. Creating the form is done the same way and markup is similar,
`readonly` mode converts the `input`, `select` and `textarea` tags to static HTML elements like `span`.
To make an entire [api:Form] read-only.
:::php
$form = new Form(..);
$form->makeReadonly();
To make all the fields within a [api:FieldList] read-only (i.e to make fields read-only but not buttons).
:::php
$fields = new FieldList(..);
$fields = $fields->makeReadonly();
To make a [api:FormField] read-only you need to know the name of the form field or call it direct on the object
:::php
$field = new TextField(..);
$field = $field->performReadonlyTransformation();
$fields = new FieldList(
$field
);
// Or,
$field = new TextField(..);
$field->setReadonly(true);
$fields = new FieldList(
$field
);
## Disabled FormFields
Disabling [api:FormField] instances, sets the `disabled` property on the class. This will use the same HTML markup as
a normal form, but set the `disabled` attribute on the `input` tag.
:::php
$field = new TextField(..);
$field->setDisabled(true);
echo $field->forTemplate();
// returns '<input type="text" class="text" .. disabled="disabled" />'
