Read-only field

It could be cool if we could be able to create read-only fields to put data in it, such as text by both API and Web interface (I'm not talking about calculation field).

I have often that need to have a read-only field, because I don't want anybody to change the value. Will it be possible someday?

  In other words, having a field of any type that you can set if it's a read-only field. (just like setting if it's a required field)
  The only way to populate that field would be to use the API or remove the read-only tag from it?

  Great idea. Can you elaborate on your use case a bit more?

  Yup! If you could give that possibility, I think that anybody could take benefit!

  I have an app for contracts and a date field which defines when the contract has been signed. The value is provided by the API. I would like to have a read-only field for that date because I don't want anybody to change the value.

  Would be possible to make some fields ready-only or even hidden through a web-hook?

  I am looking for some functionality like the following:

  For instance, let´s say  I have an invoice app with a category field (called Action) with the options "Save draft", "Void" and "Send to customer". Besides I have the regular Invoice fields: Client, Concept, Invoice date, amount, etc.

  The user enters the basic data and when  is ready to save the invoice (permanently)  he/she hits the "Save Draft" option and from then on the invoice fields would be read-only.

  Only the the Action field would be enable so the user can hit the Void or "Send to customer" options....

  Don´t know if a weebhook makes sense in this scenario?

  Does it?

  Regards....
