Can you just change the writable value in your controller based on who is
logged in? Works in all of my situations like you describe.
if auth.user.id in (users_that_cannot_edit_this_field):
db.table_name.field_name.writable = False
Not sure how you decide who can edit the field, but I would think this
would work. It has to appear before you create the form in the controller.
Am I understanding the question correctly?
