    I am creating a booking agreement for my contractors. I need to add a date and time field to the form that I can change but they can't. They will be agreeing to work at that date and time. HELP

    You can set a DateTime field to read-only so the users cannot edit them. Please see our guide below:

    1.  Add a Date Picker
