<div>Hi Tim,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It has to be done programmatically, via a plug-in. The form fields which have to be remain disabled are known beforehand. The name and types of the remaining activated fields are not known beforehand. So I cannot use the drag and drop UI. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would be happy to hear of way around this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Tej</div>

</div>
<div class="">Why not use the QGIS drag and drop form designer? It takes care of exactly this kind of use case. See chapter 3 in my tutorial here: </div>
