Hey folks,
 
I have built a Power Apps with Dataverse DB as a back end. One of the columns automatically generates an ID when a new row is created. I understand that this should be a read-only field that generates a unique ID, which cannot be edited.
However, when I turned on the possibility of editing rows directly in the view (not via form), it turns out that Autonumber data type field can be edited. I attached a few screenshots from Dataverse table (column properties and a screenshot showing that this field is read-only in Dataverse table) and Power Apps application (IDs can be edited directly in the view). 
Have you experienced similar case in model-driven Power Apps with Dataverse DB? 
 
 
Thanks,
Pawel
