Activity Log / Journal Entry field access

Brandon Warren

I'm building a custom scoped application with a journal entry field on the form. The intention is for the field to function similarly to the incident activity log. It should show a log of form changes and also have a notes field for users to post comments. The field works perfectly when testing with my admin account. When testing with any non-admin account, the "add notes" portion is missing. This seems like it would be an ACL issue, but I've created ACLs for the field to open up read/write/create access to the relevant roles, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

that non-admin should pass write ACL for entire record

Did you check that?

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

I tested this, and it does work, but the user role should only have read-only access to the rest of the table. The only thing I want them to edit is the activity log and adding notes.
