Description

It would be nice if fields marked as "readOnly" in the JSONSchema would be read only.

It has a tricky side effect of course: it would not be possible to start from an empty document and fill in all fields to make it valid JSON schema.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the JSON editor currently handles JSON Schema properties like 'required' or 'default', then implement support for 'readOnly' by making fields non editable when the schema marks them as read only.
