Lock a Field

I have a field with a formula in it and I want to be able to lock it so only owners and admins can edit.

 

i cant lock the row as details have to be changed by editors in other fields in the row.

Regards

    You also have the ability to lock the column, perhaps that will work.

    J Tech - there isnt a way to lock single cells, only entire rows or columns. I will submit an enhancement request for the ability to lock single cells.

    I'm surprised this functionality (ability to lock formulas but still allow users to edit cells) has not been released yet.  Have there not been enough votes?

    The solution I keep hearing is to lock the column or row...but doing that does NOT allow users to add their entries.  Surely we can get more folks to vote for this.  Or maybe there's an existing solution and I'm not finding it?
