There's no built-in way of doing it. It's possible to use a script that will only allow a field to receive a value if a certain password is entered into it, though. It can look something like this (as the custom validation script):

event.rc = (app.response("Enter the password for this field:","", "")=="123");

In this case the correct password is "123".

Hi try67,

I have tried entering this code and it seems to work, although if you enter the wrong password, you can still edit the field?
