When trying to default a value into an OAF page that is 'read only'  the value is not retained when saving the form. 

For example. The Returns portal page contains a Quantity field.   A OA Framework personalization is created to set a default value = 1,
and make the field read only..   The value defaults to the page, but an error occurs when trying to save the record.

ERROR
-----------------------
The quantity field is either null or has invalid value. Please enter a positive integer greater than zero


STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Navigate to returns portal page.
2. Select 'enter return'
3. select personalization link 'Personalize "Returns Information"'
4. select personalize icon for name = 'Message Text Input: Quantity'
5. Set initial value = 4
6. Set read only = true
7. Save
8. re-open the returns portal..
9. The item qty defaults to 4 and is read only..
10.  try to advance to the next step.
