Make a field read-only, but keep the preview button

What I mean by the preview button is:

What I mean by read-only is:

Is there a way to make a field read-only and not lose the preview button? What makes it go away? It is there all the way up until the page completely loads, which tells me there is a script running in the background removing it.

Thank you,

Hello Right-click on the filed in question open the Configure Dictionary option

in the attributes or create a dictionary override add this - readonly_clickthrough=true

You can also set it globally via system property glide.ui.reference.readonly.clickthrough=true 😊

It used to be the default till Paris release. (https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0861534). Not sure, why they changed the default. I find it a huge productivity killer.
