only in Odoo 17.

Odoo offers multiple ways to make specific fields read-only,
preventing unintended modifications. This can be particularly
beneficial for:
● Displaying non-editable information : This helps maintain
data consistency and avoid accidental modifications to
critical details.
● Guiding user actions : By making certain fields read-only,
you can streamline user workflows and ensure data is
entered only through designated channels.

Methods and Example:
1. Using the readonly attribute in Python:
This is the most common approach. Simply add the
readonly=True attribute to the desired field definition
during model declaration:
name = fields.Char(string="Name", readonly=True)

5. Enterprise
Methods and Example:
1. Using readonly attribute in XML view:
For more specific scenarios, you can control read-only
behavior within field definitions in your XML view files:
<field name="discount" readonly="True" />
