Disable a specific admin field

[Tremaine Buchanan]

How can I disable an admin field? There is a created_on date field that I want to capture for a particular model. However, the user is able to change this at will. I would like to prevent the user from updating/changing the entry for the field.

You can made it hidden. http://keystonejs.com/docs/database/#lists-options

As mentioned by Jeffrey, you can hide the field from the UI completely:

field { type: String, hidden: true }

or you can disable editing, the value will still be visible to the user:

field: { type: String, noedit: true }
