Disable Gravity Forms Fields Plugin

This is a simple plugin that lets Gravity Forms users set a form field's attribute to either disabled or readonly.

Simply install the plugin and add the appropraite CSS class to the form field you want to assign an attribute. This is done within the Form Editor under the Advanced tab of the field. The classes are “disabled” for the disabled attribute and “readonly” for the readonly attribute (don’t include the quotation marks).
