How to put a readonly label on add screen of an entity? So like basic text but it should be “Basic label”. Thanks.

I accomplished this by adding one additional column and the text string I wanted to display anywhere in the sheet I was referring to for my Add screen. Then in Glide, I removed the title from the Basic Label component and it displayed the text from the cell I created earlier.

You should be able to do this using a rich text component.
