Create ACL not working on table level.

[pranay_14]

I have a custom table where I need to create records of specific source_type 'XY' only and owner is not empty . I have created an create ACL with script condition as 

answer = (current.owner != '' && (current.isNewRecord() || current.source_type == 'XY'));

The source_type is never checked. How to fix this?

actually I don't suggest to use ACL to implement the complex condition in create. You can try set condition in "New" UI action.

@Di Zhang could you please elborate on this a bit more.

when you create a record, you need to click the New button in form. So you can add your condition to condition of "New" UI action.

You're on the right track with your ACL script condition, but there's a common gotcha in ACL evaluations that might be causing your issue:

Problem:

current.source_type == 'XY' might not be working because:

1. source_type may be a reference or choice field, and you're comparing it incorrectly.

2. ACL conditions can behave unexpectedly if field values haven't been fully populated yet.

Use current.source_type.toString() to ensure you're comparing strings properly.
answer = (current.owner != '' && (current.isNewRecord() || current.source_type.toString() == 'XY'));

Add some logs and try.
