Is there some method for making read-only fields in the profile?

My application is to import field values into the database based on a field with a membership-number or similar,

like:

User updates membershipnumber, and system imports (background job) various data related to this member.

Hi,
if the various data not are visible on profile you can use the hidden field type.
if the various data are visible on profile you can use the text field type with some javascript to add readonly attributes to field*** (we can help you do).
but not is a good solution for security (an user can modify the values with some knowledge of html).

in a few days I will release an update with some new feature for the field "text". I can confirm that also add the readonly parameter. Thanks for your suggestion

*** for now, i advise you to use this solution, then in a few days with the new version you can set a true readonly.

There are also other possibilities, but require a minimum of knowledge of php.
example:
add this to file /administrator/components/com_jsn/helpers/fields/text.php at the end of line 50 (about)
'.($item->alias=="fieldalias" ? ' readonly="true"' : '').'

replace field alias with alias of filed that you want readonly

Hi,
replace the file administrator/components/com_jsn/helpers/fields/text.php with the attached file.

We will implement this mod on next release. has more sense that the administrator can modify the fields readonly.

This mod allow you to edit readonly field on backend.
- isn't entered on registration and is therefore absent from registration screens or is READ ONLY
you can set field to show at registration or not, or you can set readonly parameter for this field
- can be viewed on profile on site but not edited (READ ONLY)
you must set readonly parameter for this field
- can be edited in admin user manager (NOT READ ONLY)
resolved with attached file.

The description you give doesn't match my requirements as I want user to see their membership number in Edit Profile but not be able to change it.
