I can confirm I'm still having this issue.

Is it possible this should be fixed in Django itself? It looks like when you make a field read-only it shows a plain-text representation instead of the appropriate widget. It would make more sense if Django modified only the default widget when a field is set to read-only.

I briefly looked at the Django docs and didn't see anything to suggest this is intended behaviour.

This StackOverflow answer (from 2013) seems to confirm it's a Django behaviour:

When field is set to readonly, Django uses display_for_field function which hardcodes the result, you can't customize it.

It's working for me on release v2.0.1 I am using Django 5.1 and python 3.12, also I am using unfold as admin template.
