Hello! I have certain columns that I want to be visible to everyone but editable by no one. For the collection in question, I see the actions (e.g., allow users to edit items) and I have unselected all. But when I click an individual item in that collection and the component/column in question, the action feature/tab is no longer there. So all users can edit them. I do not want to restrict visibility (which is still an option) and I do not want to set up row owners because I want everyone to see all the data. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! ---

Please share screenshots. I have a few thoughts, but I need to understand how you have everything set up first. A couple of things you are describing are not clear to me. ---

Is there a reason you are using editable text entry components instead of read only text components? ---

Nope! Is there a way to change that in the column setting? Or just create a new component? ---

Just add a new component and remove the old one. ---

And how do I link it to the data table? This feature does not seem available when I add text. ---
