readonly is not supported by browsers in choice type fields (radio, checkbox, select), so you need to use disabled.

I just did some looking into disabling either a select field or a radio type of field, don’t recall which….

Anyway, my findings were that ACF allows granular control over disabling some fields. Lets say that you have a field with these choices.

value_1 : Value 1
value_2 : Value 2
value_3 : Value 3

You can disable any of these and leave the rest enabled. So if you want to disable value 2 to then do:

$field['disabled'] = array(
  'value_2' => true
);

I have not tested this on every field type that allows choices and like I said, I don’t remember which field I actually tested this on, all I can say is to give it a try and see what happens.
