Set a Macro-Editor-Field "editable false" or "read only"

[Rainer Emil]

Hi,

I have a macro with the String-Parameter "prefix".

"prefix" shall be set on creating the macro (empty string is allowed).
After that, it must not be editable.

<atlassian-plugin key="${atlassian.plugin.key}" name="${project.name}" plugins-version="2">
   <!-- ... -->

   <web-resource key="MyPlugin-resources" name="Web Resources">
      <!-- ... -->
      <resource type="download" name="my.js" location="/js/my.js"/>
      <dependency>confluence.editor.actions:editor-macro-browser</dependency>
      <context>macro-browser</context>
    </web-resource>

  <xhtml-macro name="mymacro" class="com.company.MyPlugin" key='mymacrokey'>
   <parameters>
      <parameter name="prefix" type="string" required="true" />
      <parameter name="id" type="int" required="true" />
      <parameter name="mydata" type="string" />
    </parameters>
  </xhtml-macro>
</atlassian-plugin>

My Idea is to use "setMacroJsOverride()" in the resource file "my.js" 

AJS.MacroBrowser.setMacroJsOverride("mymacro", {
   fields: {
      string: {
           "prefix": function (param) {
               var parameterField = AJS.MacroBrowser.ParameterFields["string"](param, {});

               var pref;
               try {pref = AJS.MacroBrowser.settings.selectedMacro.params["prefix"]}
               catch (e) {pref = null}

               if(pref != null){
                    console.log("set editable false");
               } else {
                    console.log("let editable true");
               }
               return parameterField;
            }
       }
});

I have two problems:

1.  I have no Idea how to do somthing like "parameterField.setEditable(false)".

2.  When Prefix is empty string, "prefix" is not saved, and the macro  is in the "else" block.
 There must be an other way to detect if the macro is just created or if it is edited. (Or perhaps if it ever has been saved)

Hello @Rainer Emil , probably a better place to pose your question is on https://community.developer.atlassian.com/ as this forum is mainly for end users and admins, and typically doesn't extend beyond developing user macros.
