<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I'm not sure this is the best way to accomplish this but it did work for me:<br>
<br>
Create a custom module:<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><?php</div>
<div>function <i>modulename</i>_theme() {</div>
<div> return array(</div>
<div> 'page_node_form' => array(ls</div>
<div> 'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),</div>
<div> 'template' => '<i>notitle</i>',</div>
<div> 'render element' => 'form',</div>
<div> ), );</div>
<div>}</div>
<div>?></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It the module's folder, create a template file whose names matches the "template" variable above [notitle.tpl.php] and contains:<br>
<br>
<div><?php</div>
<div>global $user;</div>
<div> if (in_array('support staff', array_values($user->roles))) {</div>
<div> print '<div style="display:none">';</div>
<div> drupal_render($form['title']);</div>
<div> print '</div>';</div>
<div> }</div>
<div>?></div>
<div><?php print drupal_render($form['body']); ?></div>
<div><?php print drupal_render_children($form); ?></div>
</div>
<div><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Now anyone in the "support staff" role can not view/edit the title. </div>

<div style="direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma; color:#000000; font-size:10pt">In Drupal 7, I'm using the Node Clone module to create copies of nodes that get assigned to different users. I'd like the user who gets ownership of the cloned node to be able to
edit anything except the Title.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there any way to make the title field not editable by the owner of the node?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried creating a new CCK Title field and then used Auto Node Title to populate the default title field with this new CCK field. I then used Field Permissions to only allow specific roles to update that CCK field. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It works great except when the node is cloned, any special characters in the CCK Title field get character encoded. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Original node title: </div>
<div>Conjunctions "et", "mais" and "ou" </div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px; line-height:20px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>

</span></div>
