Certain blocks require users add an editable (non-formula) field to a table to hold misc data which shouldnโt be directly edited by the user (i.e. the Map Block requires a geocache field). Many Script Block scripts semi-automate or standardize data entry processes to provide a form of data validation or workflow integrity.
I think it would be nice if Airtableโs field permissions included a toggle for " Allow this field to be set in scripts/blocks/API" when the field permissions are set to: โWho can edit values in this field > Nobodyโ. For fields with permissions set to โWho can edit values in this field > Nobodyโ, there is already a toggle for โAllow this field to be set in records created through formsโ, this would work similarly. This will help collaborators who should have the ability to edit data as determined by the script/block do so, but not directly to enforce some measure of data consistency in all the cases where a Formula would be insufficient.
