Issue description

Hi there,

I have a switch field named is_activated in the User form that gets disabled once the user is activated. In my User model, I also have a default value for the attribute is_activated:

public $attributes = [
	'is_banned' => false,
	'is_activated' => false,
	'ldap_authenticated' => false,
];

However, for some reason, when I submit the form (context is always update) the disabled switch is submitted too and the value false is saved for the field is_activated. Thus the user is not activated anymore.

Request payload:

How can I solve? Thanks.

Steps to replicate

1. Add a switch field.
2. Disable it somehow.
3. Submit.

Workaround

The solution, for now, seems to be to not disable form fields.

Start by reproducing the issue with a disabled switch field on a User update form, then inspect the request payload and model save behavior. The fix is complete when a disabled field is not submitted or does not overwrite its existing value, while enabled fields continue to save normally.
