Please, fill in the below fields to enable the processing of your idea.

Who would benefit?

Customers with Application Templates of Edit Templates where fields to control status, audits, ids etc are required, but must not be edited by the users themselves

Additional feedback, background or context:

A new column with "Ignore REST" with a checkbox:
