Data Policy Exception: The following fields are read only but reversed

[David Casper]

I have a data policy which I created a yesterday and seemed to be working fine. I then replicated it on another table and I noticed this error: 'Data Policy Exception: The following fields are read only but reversed'

Afterwards I went back to the original table and after a save or two I had the same error pop-up.

It's fairly simple, but can't track down what is all of a sudden causing this error. I've chosen a data policy to enforce on list view as well, fyi.

There seems to be issues with having a data policy and ui policy on the same field. 

My goal with this setup was to ensure the fields were also controlled on the list view. Since this was not working I used a BR with a UI Policy and it seems to be working well through my initial testing. 

The UI policy controls whether or not the field is visible or read only on the form and the BR prevents saving the records if the two fields don't match the way you intend. 

Hope this helps others.
