 My question is: 
 What kind of field would you use in an Appian interface to display [but not allow editing] of a field like &amp;quot;created by&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;created date&amp;quot; that you want to display but not allow user editing - such that the data from these</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: What kind of field would you use in an Appian interface to display [but not allow editing] of a field like "created by" and "created date"</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/93333?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Apr 2022 06:47:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:393cad5a-a02a-4ac2-82d0-03cedd23c2ac</guid><dc:creator>GopalK</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="internal-link view-user-profile" href="/members/davidb545"&gt;davidb545&lt;/a&gt;, if you want to make any field is read only then use readOnly parameter and set it as true. and yes if you dont interact with those fields then values configured into saveInto of these fields wont be working. In this case you can configure these save values in your submit button of the form. So if you want to save values in&amp;nbsp; createdBy and createdOn fields, then configure something like below&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a!buttonWidget(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;saveInto:{&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a!save(&lt;span&gt;createdBy&amp;nbsp;,loggedInUser()),&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;a!save(createdOn,now())&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
