Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a post form with a select element, I want to pass a parameter if the user clicks from a selected link and jumps to this post form.

[php]
[cred_generic_field type='select' field='gf-class']
{
"required":1,
"options":[ [wpv-view name="json-class"] ],
"persist":1,
"default": "[wpv-search-term param="classid"]"
}
[/cred_generic_field]
</cdoe>

How can I disallow the user to change the selected option?

Hello,

If you disable the select field "gf-class" of HTML form, it won't pass any parameter to your webserver after user submit the form, and Toolset Forms won't save it's value.

So in your case, I suggest you try to use CSS codes to hide it, for example:

select[name="gf-class"]{
display:none;
}

And you can also display the URL parameter in your post form, like this:
[wpv-search-term param="classid"]
