    Great. We have certain fields which are automatically populated by a script which uses the Pipedrive API. These fields may not be edited by any users from the UI but only from the API. Is that use case covered with the upcoming change?

    Hi @Jesko , not that specific case, since this feature is based on user permissions. You can find out more in the 'Limitations' section of the knowledge base article here.

    This is a much needed feature, thank you @Manuel Oliveira ! When will the read-only fields be applicable to the revenue (Subscription & Payment Schedule) fields? Allowing read-only fields for these 2 is key when forecasting revenue and ensuring users are NOT able to edit revenue recognition.

    @Manuel Oliveira This is a nice feature, thanks! I had been wondering if we may also see the ability to have hidden custom fields. Say fields that can only be seen by Admins.
