      I see that I can easily hide fields based on capability, and I can lock fields based on post status, but is it possible to lock a field value based on capability?

      Thanks in advance.

      One of the best parts of Piklist is that it’s code based so you can do anything you can think of.

      In this situation you can just use the standard HTML INPUT attribute READONLY. Add this to your field to make a field readonly if the user can’t manage_options:

      ,'attributes' => array(
  'readonly' => !current_user_can('manage_options') ? 'readonly' : ''
)

      Awesome! I didn’t realize that ‘attributes’ was open to any html attribute, I thought it was limited to some proprietary Piklist attributes.

      You can pass ANY standard HTML attribute(s) you want.
