You may try with below steps
1. Add a hidden field to store the selected dropdown value:
  
  @Html.Hidden("DDCA_SelectedValue", ViewData["DDCA_SelectedValue"] ?? "")
2. Use JavaScript to disable the dropdown and update the hidden field during form submission:
3. Modify the submit button to call the JavaScript function:
This approach ensures that the dropdown is visually disabled for user interaction, but its selected value is still included in the form submission.

If you want to disable the dropdown during form submission but still receive its selected value, you should use the disabled attribute in the HTML and manage the disabled state using JavaScript or Razor syntax. The @disable="disable" you mentioned seems like a typo; the correct attribute is disabled.

@Html.DropDownList("DDCA", ViewData["DDCA"] as List, "-- Select --", new { @class = "form-control text-center", id = "myDropdown" })

@Html.DropDownList("DDCA", ViewData["DDCA"] as List, "-- Select --", new { @class = "form-control text-center", id = "myDropdown" })
