"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

This would set the field as read only / view only in an Employee Self Service scenario:

Try to add a new employee from Add new employee wizard: person-id-external would be set to read only / view only as well.
