How about something in the catalog.cfg along the lines of:

    Autoload <<EOA
        [perl]
            if ($Scratch->{'dealer'}){
                $Config->{FormIgnore}{somevar} = 1;
            }
        [/perl]
    EOA

I forget when the Autoload kicks in, so it may be too late.
Of course, its no use in an Autoend directive, for obvious
reasons.

If that doesn't work then try resetting the form value back to
its default in the mv_click/mv_check callback, probably with
something like this:

    [calc]
        if ($Scratch->{reset_somevar}){
            $Values->{somevar} = $Scratch->{reset_somevar};
        }
    [/calc]

You would set the reset_somevar scratch(es) for dealers and not
for ordinary users, or whatever you wanted.  The value would
get submitted as usual, but would be set back to its default.
You will have to use $CGI for mv_click, of course.

Just suggestions.  I've never done what you're asking so it
probably won't work.  Have a play with it.
