Prevent editing a text box in constant sum question type

Hello all,



I want to create a constant sum question where the first entry is a value piped in from embedded data (pretty straightforward) BUT I don't want to allow the survey taker to edit this value, only the other text entry portions of the constant sum question.



Any ideas our there on how to do this?
Hello @Akdashboard ,



Paste the below code in the js(OnReady) of constant sum question:



`jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText:first").attr("readonly",true);`

That didn't seem to work...



Please ignore the horrible formatting: https://bcbssc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/SV_6zZ0LgfB46RW3LD/BL_3lPGcJYCIf8wMPr?Q_SurveyVersionID=current



!
I doubt this will matter, but it is a matrix question with Constant Sum selected.
I am giving this thread a little bump.



Anyone have any idea how to achieve this?
