[Vtigercrm-developers] Right uitype/displaytype for field formula?

I can't seem to get the right field settings for a field that is 
supposed to contain a calculated value from a Workflow process.

I do not want it to be editable by any user. The field contains a 
monetary value so I am using uitype 71.

I tried a uitype 3 which "nearly" works apart from:

1. If you set the field as uitype 3 before writing the workflow in the 
backend you can't select that field from the picklist. (So you have to 
change it from a normal field type to 3 *after* creating the workflow)
2. You lose the currency symbol.

I tried displaytype 2 but the workflow doesn't then update the field.

I would prefer not to use Profiles for this because:

1. There are lots of profiles and multiple fields.
2. Several users often log in as, or are, admin users.

Anyone else found the right combination of params?

Thanks

Al
