Just put a
$doc.display('reporter', 'hidden')
somewhere in your form, after you set its value. It will generate an
hidden input field that will ensure the reporter is saved.
Hope this helps,

I have a class called TaskManager with a property
called Reporter that is of a "List of Users" type. What I am trying to do is
assign the current user to the Reporter property when a new document is created so that
the user does not have to select himself from the user list control, but I would like this
field to also remain as read-only so the user cannot change it to someone else.
Using the following code in the TaskManagerSheet, the property gets populated on new,
however when it is saved it disappears (not saved into the property). I have narrowed it
down to the problem being the 'view' parameter in the $doc.display() function
which makes it readonly, however because of this it is not being saved. Is there a way to
set a value on new but retain a read-only status
Here is the code that I am using:
#set ($discard = $doc.use('TaskManager.TaskManagerClass'))
#if($doc.isNew())
$doc.set('reporter',$context.user)
#end
: $doc.display('reporter', view)
