Checkbox read-only show value as image doesn't execute action
I am working on a checkbox that is in read only mode, it has an "Action set" with and event "Click" related with a "Refresh-This section". The "Show value as" value in the "Read-Only Format" section is set to Image.
If the checkbox is set to be shown as an image, the the action set is not triggered, however if I set to "Text" it works perfectly. The thing here is I have to show the checkbox as an image not as a text while it is on Read only mode.
Is it a component issue?
Thanks in advance

On my Pega 8.2.1 system, I followed your use case and got the same result as yours.
If the checkbox is set to be shown as an image, the action set is not triggered.
It seems that this is an expected behavior for "Read-only" edit option.

I'm not sure if it is an expected behavior because when there is no icon/image for the checkbox (it is shown true/false depending on the property's value) the action is performed even though the control is in Read-only mode, what I'd expect in this case is no action in neither icon/image nor text.
Thank you for your test in 8.2.1 version anyways :)

This was a very special customer request that I was not able to resolve as I tried in this post, So finally I resolved this with the following workaround: Putting two icon/images into a layout, under a Label, that simulates being checked/unchecked in Read-only checkbox control, and set up visible option depending on a property. Then when the property is true, checked Read-only checkbox control image is shown and vice versa, also I configured the action-set and that's it!
