Get

'Usage

value = instance.ReadOnly
instance.ReadOnly = value
public bool ReadOnly { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the field reference is read-only; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Remarks
When the value of this property is true, no other property of the SPFieldLink object can be updated, either directly or indirectly. (The exception to this is that you can always modify the value of the ReadOnly property itself.) For example, setting the value of the ReadOnly property to true prevents direct access by the XML document parser when it attempts to demote a value from a column in the document library to a property in the document. This setting also prevents indirect access, such as when changes in a parent content type are propagated to child content types.
