'' : ' readonly="readonly"'; By: Code: if(!preg_match('/^backend/',$options)) $size .= empty($field->field_options['readonly']) ?

Will this be part of the next update release, or do I need to take care about saving & updating the new field.php file? I assume, changes in the VIEW files will remain even after an update, as long as the changes where made via the HikaShop backend?
