 UItype 8 is documented as 'Non editable text box'. I have two
 issues:[[BR]]

 1. In edit templates it does not appear at all. I would have like to see
 it as static text.[[BR]]

 2. If via eventhandler or code I do put values in those fields they get
 encoded into arrays separated by commas. See CRMEntity near line 557:

 {{{
 elseif($uitype == 8) {
         $this->column_fields[$fieldname] =
 rtrim($this->column_fields[$fieldname],',');
         $ids = explode(',',$this->column_fields[$fieldname]);
         $json = new Zend_Json();
         $fldvalue = $json->encode($ids);

 }}}
 I do not understand why this function is there at all and I think it
 seriously gets in the way of using uitype 8 for anything.
 Please help me understand what uitype 8 is good for and how do I get a
 field that can be modified by code but not by user entry.
