isEditable	Determines if the field is editable within the online form. Defaults to true if not specified.

Example

The following example shows a local entry containing a string of text with substitution tokens. When the online form is created from the template, the substitution tokens are replaced with actual names of the deliverable and the project.

<wd:group
   title="*{DeliverableName}*">
   <wd:local-entry
      title="Description of *{DeliverableName}*"
      name="PrimaryDescript1"
      isRequired="true"
      isEditable="true"
      inputControl="multi-line-text-box">
         <wd:type base="long-string"/>
         <wd:initial-value>Some information about *{DeliverableName}* for *{ProjectName}* showing substitution.
         </wd:initial-value>
   </wd:local-entry>
</wd:group>
