    Wondering if it's possible to make an ObjectField readonly?
    I still want to allow pinging the object and setting the value through code. But I don't want to allow changing the reference by drag and drop.

    calling "SetEnabled(false)" doesn't work, and actually still allows drag and drop but prevents ping.

    You could have it not be bound, and track the actual property with TrackPropertyValue instead. You'd update the field's value with SetValueWithoutNotify. You'd then prevent any direct changes to the field by listening to valueChangeEvent and setting the value to the previous value with SetValueWithoutNotify. You'd probably should disable the picker button too.

    It might be easier to just implement your own field, though.
