How can I render a table on a form without saving the data?

I am required to store all of the customer’s agreements in a DocType called “Agreement”. The “Agreement” has a Link to Customer.

It looks like this:

I am also required to show the per-customer agreements under the Customer page. Right now I am rendering this by having a customization on the Customer form where I add a Section Break and Table for Agreements, and then use javascript to fill it out:

frappe.ui.form.on("Customer", {
    refresh: function (frm) {
        let agreementsArea = $("[data-fieldtype='Table'][data-fieldname='agreements']");
        let buttonsArea = agreementsArea.find(".grid-footer");

        frappe.call({
            method: "frappe.client.get_list",
            args: {
                doctype: "Agreement",
                order_by: "name",
                fields: ["name", "customer", "project", "start_date", "end_date", "description"],
                filters: [["customer", "=", frm.docname]]
            },
            callback: function (r) {
                if (!r || !r.message) return;

                let agreements = r.message;

                for (let i = 0; i < agreements.length; i++) {
                    let agreement = agreements[i];

                    let row = frappe.model.add_child(frm.doc, "Agreement", "agreements");
                    row.customer = agreement.customer;
                    row.project = agreement.project;
                    row.start_date = agreement.start_date;
                    row.end_date = agreement.end_date;
                    row.description = agreement.description;

                    for (let j = 0; j < frm.fields.length; j++) {
                        let field = frm.fields[j];
                        if (field.df.fieldname == "agreements") {
                            field.df.read_only = 1;
                            break;
                        } 
                    }
                }

                frm.refresh_field("agreements");
                buttonsArea.hide();
            }
        });

        buttonsArea.hide();
    }
});

This works, but when the customer is saved the data is also saved… I do not want the data to save. I need a way of simply rendering extra data on a form without modifying the data. How can I do this?
