   I want to set a picklist to be readonly based on its value. How do I achieve this? There isn't any documentation in the API on how to set this using javascript.
   
   I don't want that field to submit any value to CRM.
   
   Disabling the field still submits the original value.

   Hello Geoff,
   
   Sorry for the late response! Below is a code snippet you can use to disable/make-readonly a Picklist widget using both TPC 3.3 or TPC 4.0 apis:
   
   

   $(function(){
       //TPC 4.0+
       var pl = tpc.find("gendercode");
       pl.disable();
   
       //TPC 3.3
       var pl = findControl("gendercode");
       pl.disable();
   });
   

   
   Let me know if this answers your question.
   
   Regards,
   Clinton
