Allow us to add a readonly field in any form that is based on an sql script

There are instances where we only want to show our users information from other modules which they don't have access and by having the ability to add them in a form with read only , all the information they need will be available in screens that are accessible to them as long as there is a relationship in the data – for instance we want the Most Recent Hire Date from PR Employees displayed as read only in HR Resource Master.

    ... It went from "Planned" to "Likely but not yet planned"? Bummer. Hopefully VP will reconsider it's decisions down the road.

    TSQL has had a 'Computed Column' since about 2008: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/tables/specify-computed-columns-in-a-table

    Looking forward to seeing this implemented in VP!

    This is a great idea but needs more review to determine the amount of effort involved to see when we can fit it in.
