Suggestion: There should be an option for Fields (general) if selected "read only" (filled by formula is possible) except API User is writing.
Workaround: Design two fields, one with read only (add in Layout) and one field (not in Layout) with same content - and fill in the read only field with formula.
Negative with the workaround solution: Two fields with same content are saved unnecessary. (Double Data).
For using area, e.g.: Workflow Espo - N8N - Jira and backwards (bidirectional) and some data is allowed be chanced at Jira only and not at Espo.
Remarks:
Jira is meant Jira from Atlassian, a Software for project management for software development. But usage Espo with N8N (a software for BPM workflow management) could be with much different other software, too.
