    Is it possible to have a read only field in the back office?

    Hi,

    I need a field just to display a string. The content will be added programatically by intercepting the save event. It is for information for the user and will change depending on certain conditions.

    I tried the label field, but the name appears to be a private property, does this mean it cannot be edited programatically?

    Also I tried Axendo Disabled Properties to disable properties but it does not appear compatiable with Umbraco 7. Is there another option for a read only field?

    Thanks a lot for any info!

    Hi Damon,

    Could you use the label data type for your case.

    Label data type:

    Label is a non-editable control, can only be used to display a pre-set

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    really need to alter the name of the label at different stages, so don't think this is suitable, unless there happens to be a way to edit it on the back end,

    thanks,
