Making Gravity Form Fields "Readonly" breaks pods-gravity-forms

[jeiseman]

Issue Overview

Making a field readonly as described here: Gravity Forms: making a field read only causes the values in the readonly fields to be treated as empty by pods-gravity-forms (I used the Native Code implementation).

The form is set up with the following pod options enabled:

• Support entry updates
• Enable editing with this form using current post
• Enable populating field values for this form using current post
• Delete Gravity Form Entry on submission

## Expected Behavior The readonly fields should retain the current value

Current Behavior

The values for readonly fields are lost.

Possible Solution

Fix it so that readonly fields are ignored and there current values are retained.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Setup a feed and make the form fields readonly then try to update the form.

I found a way to work around this issue : Make the file hidden instead of readonly.
Whenever I make the field readonly, I see the problem.
