Ability to make a custom section be readonly after having a template defined

I had submitted a case: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/case/5000z00001JLnt6AAD

In RQM test case templates it will be good to have an option to enable a custom section to be set as readonly, because if the custom section has a content defined and this will help to avoid any manual updates after the template has been created from the test case.

Idea priority High

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    To confirm the requirements, the administrator would create a new test artifact template, edit an existing test artifact template, or manage the sections of an existing test artifact and create a new custom rich text section. In the custom rich text section editor, there would be a checkbox for making the rich text content read-only. Note, the description of the custom rich text section is always read-only and the title of the custom rich text section is only editable in the test artifact editor when the Save --> Edit section Header permissions is enabled for the role(s) of the current user. If the read-only checkbox is enabled, the rich text content cannot be edited in a test artifact created from that test artifact template or when that custom rich text section is added to an existing test artifact. Note, changing the read-only check box will not affect existing test artifacts created from that test artifact template. Please confirm these requirement.
