so I am working on a device management system and to add a new device to a group you must input some info into a form. Some items, you must click a check box in order to enable the dropdown, while some items you cant edit no matter what, but the information must still be present.

enter image description here

As you can see, what you enable "data encrypt", the dropdown is enabled and you can select from the list, while under VNET addr/len, you cannot enable those forms no matter what, but I still need the information available for the user to see. Now, I dont want the users to assume that there is a way to enable the VNET Addr boxes, but I cant think of a way to visually show that information without having a greyed out box. This creates confusion since the user may try clicking around to enable those boxes. Any tips on how to display this data?

Make the non-editable items display as text or numbers, with no disabled-like signifiers.

If I understand your question, it looks like you have a visual treatment that doesn't differentiate in a form between editable (but disabled) items vs. uneditable items. Treating them as data in display mode can provide some differentiation.
