# Read-only Field for Craft CMS
A very simple read-only field type.
# Background
Sometimes you add content to Craft entries (for example via an API) that should be readable but not changeable for the user in the control panel.
# Requirements
- Craft CMS >= 4.0.0
# Installation
Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:
cd /path/to/project
composer require codemonauts/craft-readonly-field
In the control panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “install” button for Read-only Field.
# Usage
After installation, the control panel can be used to create fields that behave like plaintext fields, but can only be filled programmatically with content. In the control panel, the content is displayed but cannot be edited.
