Salesforce Fact #113 | Read only flow in action

Currently flow does not give any out of the box read only feature for most of the input types. However, we can make an input field read only in the screen.

Suppose, we have a due date field in the screen which considers the value as 30 days past current date and this value should not be modified by the user. So, to achieve this we can add formula in the validate input section and also an error message to show to the user.

Attached are the screenshots.
