Field readonly

Version: Free.

Why this type

The editor can see the value and cannot change it. The data is a string, as with text. It fits an SKU, an id, or a value that comes from outside MODX.

When to use

• SKU or article from MS3 on product section
• Preview slug or id after save
• Hint that value is auto-filled

Tips

Fully hidden value use hidden. Editable copy is text.

Similar types

• hidden with no UI
• text for normal input
