Allow list_edit for a specific field not working

ServiceLater1 · ‎05-16-2022

In our table: u_contract_line_item there is a field u_price.

Currently, when viewed in a list, this field is not allowing list_edit.

I would like to allow list_editing of this field. I checked in UI Properties and List Editing is enabled.

How can I go about enabling list editing for this field?

Thanks for all the advice and feedback. After much searching, it turned out that the field type was "currency" which happened to be in the list of fields denying list editing (this was under system properties > ui properties).

Once I removed that field type from the list the list editing worked.

You need to create your own ACL, that allow editing from list

Well it depends on what all conditions you want to make it work.

I could consider a simple condition as

State | is not | Closed

Additionally, you can specify the Role (itil or any other role user) so as to limit it.

Ok thank you.

So I created an ACL, at the moment I have not assigned any required roles or conditions because I simply want to test it. But even with my simple ACL the field is still not editable.

Is it editable from form for the user?

If not you might have to look for ACL of Type Write for the required table & field as well so as to avoid conflict.

Yes the user can edit this field on the form. But when the user is viewing this field in the list and it does not allow editing. This is what is confusing me, since I could not find an ACL on the list_edit operation.
