Specifying read only attributes does not work for built in
Hello,
When I specify an attribute as read only in the attribute definition section of the process, prevents this attribute if it is value set or multivalue, being loaded by WorkItemEditableProperties, the loading of the workitem is faster; but if I set a built-in one, to be read-only, this doesn't work. It is a bug?

I was able to reproduce this on 4.0.5. I set the OOTB enumeration 'priority' to readOnly. In the web client, I am still able to edit this drop down. However, in the eclipse client, priority is set to readOnly. Eclipse and the web are known to behave differently since different code is called, but I agree this is unexpected.
I would recommend you open up a PMR with IBM Support so they can confirm that this is a defect and whether or not this is fixed in a future release.

My concern is most for the performance problem due to that, suppose that you have Restricted Access and File Against Read Only, and you have thousands of Access Groups and thousands of Areas, this imply a very serious performance problem for the work item load due to WorkItemEditableProperties service behavior.
