lock card on an edit form

Is there a way of locking cards (field) on an edit form?

i.e. I need to display all 4 fields, but the 4th will be the only one that will be amended.

    Hi @shoaibmaroof7 ,

    Just set the DisplayMode of the cards you want "locked" to DisplayMode.View rather than Parent.DisplayMode

    Another easy solution is to simply change your Control Type when you add a field to a form to read-only.  This will set the displaymode for you automatically.
