Can I lock a column from being editable in a report?

I have an issue report and it has a column for the "Date Needed By" custom field on it. I do not want users to be able to change that field from within this report. I added the text isinlineeditable=false but it still allows me to edit it from the report. Is there any way to accomplish this?

    Hi - I had a client ask for the Actual Completion Date to be displayed but not in-line editable and this worked

    displayname=Actual Done On

    textmode=true

    valueexpression=CONCAT({actualCompletionDate})

    valueformat=HTML

    for you, the CONCAT would be CONCAT({DE:Date Needed By}) since it is a custom field I'm assuming. :)

      Perfect Thank you, I needed to display the time too so I swapped out the valueformat for this valueformat=customDateAsLongDateString and it works perfectly.

      I spoke too soon, it does display date and time but the times aren't accurate they all say 12:00am. Do you know what I did wrong?

      @Kyna Baker - inactive‚ you have a quick tip for inline editing, and I would love to have you expand it in order to remind people that if they don't want inline editing, here's how you switch it off (here's the link to the existing quick tip -- https://one.workfront.com/s/question/0D54X00006oQasLSAS/quick-tip-create-views-that-allow-for-inline-editing ). I just think these two topics go together so well (like milk and cookies!) that it would be a pity to mention one without the other. What do you think?
