    Is there a way to disable specific input fields in the frontend submission form?
    I only want some specific fields editable.

    I think i cant solve it with javascript easy, because, the ids of an input change from post to post i think?

    Hi,

    You can use the field setting disabled and set it to true to disable a field. Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/field-settings/#field-specific-settings

    [
    'name'          => __( 'Text', 'your-text-domain' ),
    'id'            => $prefix . 'text_c2x12ryc1qu',
    'type'          => 'text',
    'disabled'      => true,
],

    Okay, i've tried that.
    But then i cant fill the field, when i create a post?

    I want to fill it, but dont edit/change it when it is created on the frontend.
    Or do i miss something?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    When registering the meta box, you can create a variable $disabled, set it to false by default and check if it is the admin area, change this variable to true to disable editing. It would be:

    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) {
    $disabled = false;
    if( is_admin() ) $disabled = true;

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        ...
        'fields' => [
            [
                'id'      => 'text',
                'name'    => 'Text',
                'type'    => 'text',
                'disabled' => $disabled
            ],
        ],
    ];
    return $meta_boxes;
} );

    Hi ,

    thank you. I've finished it with following code:

    add_filter( 'rwmb_normalize_vorname_field', function( $field ) {
    

     if( is_admin() ) {
         $field['disabled'] = false;
         
     }else{
        $field['disabled'] = true; 
     }

    return $field;
} );
