A quick and dirty hack to allow editing of readonly form fields from within Chrome. Probably works similarly in other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge)
- Open the js console (F12 then choose the tab “Console”)
- Select the context as appropriate from the dropdown (that’s the frame in which the form exists)
- Paste the following in the console:
elements = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(var i=0; i<elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].readOnly=false;
}
Footnotes:
- Adapt for “disabled” elements by replacing “readOnly” with “disabled”
- You may also need to set “editable” to true
