Make catalog variables readonly about sntil HOT 2 CLOSED

Some related notes from Slack

• /if you have fields you want to exclude from being read only use this

var notReadOnly = ["your_custom_field","other_field_that_is_not_read_only"];
var fields = g_form.getEditableFields();
for (var x = 0; x < fields.length; x++) {
            if(notReadOnly.indexOf(fields[x]) == -1){
                g_form.setReadOnly(fields[x], true);
            }
 }

• To make the VEditor read-only in Platform, activate the onLoad client script, "Variable Editor Readonly", for the following tables:

• To make the VEditor read-only in Service Portal, navigate to Service Portal > Portals, select Service Portal, and specify the following code in the Quick start config field. "readonly_variable_editor": "true"

• Catalog UI policies, catalog client scripts, catalog data lookups, reference qualifiers, and dependent reference fields are supported on the default variable editor only for task-extended tables. To support a catalog UI policy or a catalog client script on this editor, select the Applies on the Target Record check box for the catalog UI policy or the catalog client script.

• To make this editor read-only, create an onLoad client script on the task extension and add the following code:

function onLoad() {
 $("variable_map").querySelectorAll("item").forEach(function(item){
 var variable = item.getAttribute("qname");
 g_form.setReadOnly("variables."+ variable, true);
 });
 }
