Hello Kassie McCool​ – If I'm understanding your question correctly, I believe what you're after is quite possible!

Here's what you'd want to do:

1. Add a Multi Line TextBox control to your form
2. Right-click your new Multi Line TextBox control and click Settings
3. Set the connected to property to be your "Approval" column
4. Set the control mode to be display.

If you'd like your Approval control and it's Label to be completely hidden when creating/editing new items, you can also setup a rule to hide this as needed. For this I would recommend:

1. Drop your label and Multi Line TextBox control within a new form panel.
2. Setup a rule such that your new panel is only shown is display mode. To do this:
   1. Select your new panel and click rule
   2. Under condition, use the f(x) button and formula builder to build the following : Is Edit Mode || Is New Mode
      1. Keep in mind that the tIs Edit Mode] and aIs New Mode] values above are inserted into the formula builder by double clicking the function in the common section.
   3. Close the formula builder.
   4. Check the Hide check box.

After doing this, you will now have your approval field's label/value displayed on your form when viewing items, but not present when creating new items or editing existing items.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Patrick
