John,

"In order to allow enter multiple values into field with Type="UserMulti"

You need to get the values into a collection object and then iterate through them and test it it is a group, if not assume it is a user, as follows:
SPFieldUserValueCollection objUserFieldValueCol = new SPFieldUserValueCollection(web, listitem["UserGroupField"].ToString());
for (int i = 0; i < objUserFieldValueCol.Count; i++)
{

Yes, the short answer is you can't do anything to the field if you accidently deployed it with a version attribute. Whoops.
As this is something I've done a few times - ow - and I needed to fix, I've finally gotten around to writing a script to fix it. The script needs to remove the current field from all content types, then delete the field. Then remove ...

I believe with that technique you are creating a Field object for that list but it does not actually add a column, similar to adding columns to a Datatable().
For creating fields via code I typically go with
//Add Column to list
//GUID SPList.Fields.ADD(name,type,required);
list.Fields.Add("Field Name", SPFieldType.Choice, false);
//Get Field ...

Using jQuery, find the nearest item with a unique identifier. Not all fields in a form have unique IDs, as you found with the date fields, which all have the id="SPFieldDateTime". The corresponding label column, however, contains the field name and this one must be unique.
Use this as your hook. You can then go to the sibling of the unique element with the ...

You need to return the field value in HTML/Plain text format and update it. Here you go:
SPSite site = new SPSite("http://site"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

SPList list = web.Lists["YourList"];
SPListItem item= list.GetItemById(1);
SPFieldMultiLineText multilineField = item.Fields.GetField(...

In SharePoint 2013, client-side rendering (CSR) provides a way to control the output/design of your fields and set of controls by leveraging HTML and JavaScript technologies for example how should the fields render in list views (edit, new or quick edit), search, list forms etc. Now, every field definition comes with JSLink property that can be overridden, ...

One hint is to use AddRange() method to add array of strings as choices instead of adding choices with Add() one by one
string[] Choices = { "choice1", "choice2", "choice3", "choice4", "choice5" };

You can use the SPBuiltInFieldId.Author:
listItem[SPBuiltInFieldId.Author] = new SPFieldUserValue(web, userId, userName);
listItem.SystemUpdate(false);

SPFieldUrl fldURLImage = (SPFieldUrl)list.Fields.CreateNewField(SPFieldType.URL.ToString(), "Picture");
fldURLImage.DisplayFormat = SPUrlFieldFormatType.Image;
myList.Fields.Add(fldURLImage,SPFieldType.URL, true);

The simplest way to make any field read only would be to use SPutility Jquery
You can use it like below:
SPUtility.GetSPField('Column Name').MakeReadOnly();
For the comment made by David on Dmitry Kozlov answer,
to make People picker readonly, you can use the below JQuery code:
$(".sp-peoplepicker-delImage").css({ 'display' : 'none'});

It sounds like you're using the ItemUpdated event. If you used ItemUpdating I believe you could modify the AfterProperties instead of performing a second update.
