 * I’m starting to get my head ’round this plugin and realise how powerful it is.
   It is fast becoming one of my favourite plugins.
 * I’m using [pdb_record tabs=true] shortcode which works really well. I also use[
   pdb_single] with the tabbed output.
 * When I view a record using [pdb_record tabs=true] is it possible to make some
   of the fields or the fields within a tab uneditable. Basically I only want 1 
   of my tabbed fields to be editable.
 * Alternatively, if I use [pdb_single tabs=true] is it possible to make some of
   the fields or fields within a tab editable.
 * Many Thanks

 * Setting a field to “read-only” the the field definition will make them uneditable
   to users in the record edit form.
