So in fact you have two field types mixed into one. It's
more like an
input field that is prefilled and sometimes shouldn't be
modifiable.

Perhaps you can implement it in this way: make it an input
field and in
case you don't want to have it editable replace it by
something that
isn't editable? Though all text fields that come to my mind
are editable
somehow (but at least not directly).

Ciao,
