[Status: Launched! 🚀] Lock Custom Fields

We really need the ability to lock custom fields to make Wrike more user-friendly. Our team has to keep checking data accuracy, which messes up our workflow and data quality.

Please add this feature soon to stop accidental changes, keep data accurate, hold everyone accountable, and get better reports.

The ability to lock custom fields is essential for simplifying Wrike usage. Our users currently need to continuously verify data authenticity, and the lack of this feature significantly impacts our workflow and data integrity.

I urge the Wrike team to include this feature immediately to prevent accidental edits, maintain data integrity, improve accountability, and enhance report accuracy.

Dear Users...

To all those who have lodged comment/request for the ability for Admin to "Lock Custom Fields" (columns) = Admin edit ONLY.

Please take the time to quickly up-vote each others requests - I have been told 60 Up-votes is required for the production team to even consider an item - this one BTW I estimate to have well over 200 up-votes maybe even 300 if all separate requests are combined, but being first raised in 2018 (~6 Years Ago) with no clear feedback - only Lisa assurance that the team 'is looking at it' - this is core data integrity issue and I fail to see why WRIKE have not addressed it or at least explained to their user base why not...!!!

To keep this alive and raise the profile again - please UPVOTE for each of your user colleagues comment - maybe once we hit 500 production might see the urgency...!!?? 

Adrian Polden, thanks for speaking up so well.  I am at the point of being close to giving up on Wrike due to this one limitation.  I spend the weekend looking over options and am pleasantly surprised at how Jira does allow for such control over Custom Fields.  
Given the sunk investment in training all our users on Wrike, I would be thrilled if the dev team at Wrike were to finally take this up seriously.

Hi everyone! Thank you all for your feedback and for sharing your needs with us.

I have good news: our team is currently working on a feature that will allow you to control who can edit the values of custom fields 📌 We believe it will be a significant step in the right direction and will hopefully address many of your concerns.

We've noticed that this request is particularly popular among users within the same company, and we definitely see the value in implementing such a feature. We truly appreciate the level of interest and enthusiasm. We'd also like to kindly ask that you try to consolidate your comments to help us manage the feedback more effectively on our end. Your cooperation would be much appreciated.

We’ll keep you updated with any progress in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
