Survey theme/template: News paper
==================
Hello.
I need some help. I have a survey wich is set as a closed/token based survey. That survey has a participants table where every participant has a token. The survey has some text fields that are filled with the information that is present in the users table. What I want now is to set as not editable every text field that contains the information that is loaded from the participants table. That means that when I user logs in the table is not able to change the fields that are filled automatically. Is it possible to do that in Limesurvey. In that case how can I do that?

You neglected to tell us what question type you are using but you may be able to use part of this solution.

The question that I want to be non-editable is of type long free text.
Is there any way make this field non-editable whitout add code?.
I have an account in a LimeSurvey instance and only I have access to the interface. I think that is not possible to add code from the LimeSurvey interface. Please correct me if I am wrong, I am very new to LimeSurvey.

Why don't you just present this information in a "text display" question, instead of a non editable text field? There is no reason to have it in a text field if it is non editable anyway.

You can still export this data together with the results later.

Of course you can add JavaScript if you have sufficient admin privileges.
