what does this icon mean in Object Inspector

[rschramm]

Very new to Creator. Ive inherited a project in QtCreator. Several of the forms elements in the Object Inspector have an icon with a red circle with a slash across them (see attached .png). I cant figure out from the Creator or the QtDesigner docs what this icon is trying to tell me.

I think it means that the object does not have a layout.

Yes, that is exactly what that icon means.
These widgets are either no container (but designer doesn't know) or get layouted in the C++ class that instantiates that form.
