Distinguish Read only properties from editable properties in Task Scheduler Wizard

The Task Scheduler is a powerful feature that enables users to automate tasks and improve system management efficiency. However, some tasks may contain Read-Only properties, which users are not permitted to modify. These properties are designated as ReadOnly in the underlying user-defined task, but they appear on the Task Scheduler Wizard screen the same way as editable properties. This can lead to confusion, as users may attempt to change these values, unaware that their changes are discarded when they click "Next" or "Finish."

To avoid this confusion, Read-Only properties should be visually distinguished from editable fields, possibly by using a different font style or color and graying them out so users know they cannot change the values

    I agree on it. Honoring and validating the literal properties keywords is really helpful. ex: allow numbers only If property is integer and honor the MAXLEN and MINLEN.
