Read-only field with generated value (uuid)?

What theme are you using?

bootstrap-4

What is your question?

This seems obvious, but I can't find it in the docs or any issues, at least with the keywords I've tried searching with. I have many fields in my schema that require uuids. I'd like to just auto-generate those for new entries and make them read-only as a reference for the user. I see that I can create a custom widget to do this, but then I have to recreate the HTML for the TextWidget. I'd like to just use a text widget, but set disabled=true and generate a uuid value if it's not in the formData.

How can I achieve that?

You could copy the source for the BaseInputTemplate and modify it for your purposes and replace the default template with yours. See the templates docs for more information on how to do this.
