Hi,

the feature 'edit only field' is currently available for the following field types

text,email,url,tel,number,date,select,radio,checkbox,multicheckbox,hidden,password,textarea,signature,selectsql,radiosql,multicheckboxsql.

The field type file upload is not in that list.
I'm currently not sure, why we excluded this field type.

I have created a development issue in the feature wish list:
Issue [VF-1582]: Make field type upload edit only field

When we release the new feature, you will be explicitly informed about the release here in the topic.

Regards,
Aicha

Hello,

the new feature is included in the latest release from October, 6 2025 for Joomla 5:

Visforms 5.6.0
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...es/j5/version-5-6-x/

Visforms Subscription 5.6.0
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...5/sub-version-5-6-x/

We use canary releases for Visforms updates.
This allows the latest version to be made available to an increasingly large group of users in stages.
It's therefore quite possible that a current release isn't yet available for your Joomla update manager.

However, all current updates are still available for download on our website.
This allows you to manually update to the latest version at any time, even if it's not officially your turn yet.

Kind regards, Aicha
