[Vtigercrm-developers] Readonly fields changes are not tracked neither supports workflows

[Matus Sopko]

Sorry Prasad, but you never has this needs ?

Field A
Field B
Field C = A+B

We want to have Field C like createdtime, modfiedtime. It's calculated 
with WF, after save,.... and we don't need display this field C in 
create/editview. We need calculate it and show in detailview.
