 * Is there a way that I can have the custom fields be uneditable and fixed?
 * The bulk of the post on my blog will be in the following format:
 * Position: blah blah blah
    Description: blah balh blah Contact: [email@email.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uneditable-custom-post-fields/email@email.com?output_format=md)
 * I would like the user to be able to just enter the data for the pre-assigned 
   fixed keys, and not be able to add/change the meta keys.
 * Possible?

 * Good question! Textpattern has the custom field settings in the admin area instead
   of right there in the post, which means only someone with admin level could change
   them. Maybe there’s a way to set custom fields as unwritable based on user levels?
