There were two fixes here:
1) to get the memo code to be readonly, we had to add it to the RedesignationFromUtils readOnlyFields
2) to get (OPTIONAL) to be removed from memo code, we had to add the required validator to memo code and move the overlayForms call after initializePullForward so the label is recalculated after the validator was added.
