Hi Tina Yi,

Can i use web part?

I don't understand what's your field?

You can disable the field and make it read only  by javascript or jquery.

Also you can develop a webpart, but it's complex.

Why if i using webpart it's complex?

Hi,

You can enter the scripts in Content Editor web part or Script Editor web part on the page.

For SharePoint Online, we can use _spPageContextInfo object to get the current user name. It provides the userId and userLoginName properties.

For example:

<script type="text/javascript">

var loginName = _spPageContextInfo.userLoginName;

alert(loginName);

</script>

Using JavaScript to set the field value in the form. Then, set the field to ready only.

A demo: set a field value via JavaScript

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){

$("input[Title='<column>']").val(loginName);

});

</script>

Best regards,

Linda Zhang

You can do it by JQuery.

$("input[title='Title']").attr('disabled',"true");

//[title='Title'] - Title is your column name
