Custom Character Sheet - How to make a field uneditable?

Hello, I'm in the works of creating a custom character sheet for a custom system and I would like to have different types of fields (mainly dropdowns) that can be edited only by me, even if the player has edit permission on the character sheet. The idea behind this is to have many things at the ready that change a lot of things on the character sheet but I don't want the player to see them and start thinking about them before having discovered them. I tried looking it up, but is there something like a parameter or attribute that can be used so that only the GM can edit a particular field even if the player is granted edit permission on the character?

No, there's nothing like that. You could set a field to readonly, but that stops the GM from editing it too. You could go a very convoluted route, and use sheet workers for every control you want to preserve, that check a player name. but you'd need to edit that name in each character sheet - since its a custom sheet, this could be hardoded to you specifically. You might want to simply set everything you want to protect as locked, and then have your own sheet workers to change individual entries. This would be working on security by obscurity - anyone who know how to do this could still do it. In conclusion, there's no simple way to do what you wnat. You might be able to kind of do it, but it would take a lot of work stting up the sheet for it. You'd need to really want this feature to include it because it would be a lot of extra work.

Yeah. Sadly there is not way to check if any player is the GM of the game. It would be very cool to have such a feature, but Roll20 have not prioritized it.
