ConfiForms: Is it possible to disable edit for a field in the edit dialogue?

[Jonathan Vorndamme]

The disable inline edit function in ConfiForms is very useful, but inline edits have severe limitations (no message on success, no error messages for direct inline edits from views, no (working) version tracking/preventing concurrent edits). Thus, it would be very useful to have a similar option in regular editing or just make the field disable edit (of all forms). This is useful in a scenario, where a form is submitted by one person and the request is approved by others. In this scenario, if I allow the requester to adpt his request, I need version tracking to make sure the approver approves, what he thinks he approves. Thus, due to the version field not working for inline edits, I can only use the regular edit dialogue. And to be sure the data is consistent, I need to show the whole request in the edit window, but I don't want the approver to be able to change the request, so I would need to prevent him from being able to change certain fields. It's also not possible to use the edit restrictions because in that case, the field cannot be filled when the request is filed. Is there a way to achieve this? IMHO, the best would be to change the"disable inline edit" option to "disable edit".
