Add field to E-Recruitment Candidate Profile / Personal Data Screen

Question

Hi Experts,
I have a very specific requirement.  I need to display a date field from date spec infotype in e-recruitment.  The date type will vary depending on the internal candidate's personnel subarea.  This field needs to be visible to both the candidate and the recruiter, but uneditable.
How can I achieve this?  What is the best approach?  I was thinking about adding it to the Personal Data in the Candidate Profile.
Thanks in advance
Shane

Yes, it will wok with Webdynpro
The table T77RCF_PRMC_PL is for customer smartforms, this is where you should insert a record for your new custom smartform, the record will not be there by default, you have to insert it via table maintenance sm30
The default standard smartform is fetched from table T77RCF_PRM_PL for standard smartforms, entry with parameter name FORM_CAND_DOVR
So you have to create an entry in the customer smartforms table T77RCF_PRMC_PL with similar parameter name but with the name of your new custom smartform in the value field...
The logic works like this: it will try to find an entry in the customer table first (T77RCF_PRMC_PL), if it cannot find an entry with parameter name FORM_CAND_DOVR, it will go to the standard table (T77RCF_PRM_PL) where the entry exists by default.
To look into the logic more closely please go to the following method:
cl_hrrcf_dataoverview_pl
method: get_cand_dovr
Inside the above method, the logic is implemented inside the following method call:
CALL METHOD cl_hrrcf_t77rcf_prm_pl=>read_record
        EXPORTING
          iv_prm           = 'FORM_CAND_DOVR'
        IMPORTING
          es_t77rcf_prm_pl = ls_prm.
      lv_cand_dovr_form = ls_prm-value.
I hope I made things more clear...
