I want to display a field taken from one of my records from my fillout form but I want to make it uneditable. I am using the form to update already made records but I want to display a field but make it uneditable. Is there a way to do this?

Try using a "Pararaph" element and typing "@". This will allow you to pull references like so:
Displaying fields from records in Airtable requires a linked record field so that Fillout knows where to pull data from

When using Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, you can choose any of the “display elements” from the left margin and then type the @ symbol to display fields from your Airtable base as view-only (i.e. uneditable).
However, unlike what Adam posted above, you do not need to have a linked record field to do this.
Since you are using Fillout to update Airtable records from a form, Fillout already knows which record to pull your data from, so you can just type the @ symbol and pick the field that you would like to display on your form.
Hope this helps!

Oooh, thanks for clarifying! You're right, I totally missed that they were updating an existing record, appreciate the correction!
