Display field in back-end as plain text (NOT field)

I’m working on a project that involves custom fields for image attachments.

I’d like to gather information from an image’s EXIF metadata, and then use that data to populate a custom field (probably a textarea field). The thing is, I only want this field to be edited in the code, NOT in the back end.

Is there any way to display ONLY a custom field’s CONTENT in the back end? So that it’s not editable?

Thanks in advance.

I have found that this add on works good for situations like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-enhanced-message-field/
