How can i configure a readable field which can be viewed as well..

Question

What i observed is: if i create a readable custom field then can't be viewed, so only option i found is puuting those kind of fields under view screen only..

Can any one confirm me that if this is the solution or there is some other better way as well.

Option 2 is what I said in my first answer, and is what you need to do.

Hi Nic,

to make my query more clear,

I want to import some value in to a custom field (as a part of cvs import),  which should not be editable ,however the field should be visible in the screen while viewing the issue,

option-1: if i make a field as "read only" first of all it does not come under the custom field list while importing.

option-2: So only option i see is to create a text field &  add it only to "view screen"

Hope i am clear now..

Yes. If you create a read-only type field, you can put it on a "view" screen ad you will see it when you view the issue.  However, these fields are READ only.  The users can't put anything into them.  You need code to put data in them.
