Disable editing for specific fields in Editor widget

In an Editor widget in Experience Builder, I want to see all fields, but restrict editing to certain fields.

For example, with a Survey123 feature layer in Experience Builder, I want users to see all fields, but only edit the STATUS field, not any of the others.

As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to restrict field editing for specific fields in Experience Builder or in a web map. Could that functionality be added?

You can make a field uneditable in a web map by using the Form editor.

Not sure if this follow through to EB. In AGOL go to the data tab, click fields, select the field you want to restrict.

As @KenBuja mentioned, this can be done in the web map > form editor:

Changing these editable settings in a Form does not block them from simply editing in the attribute table or in Pro. Or open the service in a new map and edit. Only safe way now is a database view.
