A platform has been created to test this feature. The intended outcome is that none of the default fields provided by the Scratchpads (e.g. All Darwincore fields, ITIS taxonomy fields, etc) can not be edited or deleted. I have created a new site (http://3077.taxon.name/) for testing this, but it should also be tested with an existing site.

All DwC fields are locked along with primary fields in classification in http://3077.taxon.name/
Attempt to clone http://thymus.myspecies.info on quartz.nhm.ac.uk-web-silica.nhm.ac.uk_scratchpads-3077-field-lock for testing returned an error so I couldn't verify this on an existing site

tested on http://dev-fieldlock-thymus.taxon.name
I was able to delete the fields Unit name 1 and Rank from the taxonomy. However existing values are still displaying.

The update functions have been tweaked. I have deleted the clone you created, and started the process again.

The update has worked successfully, the code has been merged into the Master branch and will be released tomorrow.
Description:
Fields added to core content types and vocabularies (e.g. SPM/Biological Description or ITIS_TERM/Unit Name 1) should be locked so that users are unable to delete/rename/generally-them-mess-up.
