Extended table fields in list layout not visible to end user?

Karan Sharma3

I have enabled the UI Property: "Allow base table lists (task, cmdb_ci, etc.) to include extended table fields (incident_state, os_version, etc.), and allow filtering on extended table fields", to view some fields of extended tables in list view.

As an admin I am able to see those fields in the list layout but as an end user unable to see the extended fields. What can be the issue behind it??

Karan,

Make sure that you check the ACLs to see if the end user has the rights to see the extended table fields. It is possible that the extended fields have different ACLs from the base table.

Here's an example which can be replicated in the Sandbox.   I created a gauge using the time card table and dot-walked from Task to Task.Short description.



Task.Short description does not display for user Beth Anglin.

Task.Short description does display for user System Administrator.

In this example, go to the Project task, check the read ACL's on short description. Does Beth have the roles required?


I don't think there is an issue with ACL's on short description.   If this were the case I would not be able to see short description on the Project Task form.   I click on the PRJTASK0000019 as Beth and I am taken to the Project Task form where short description is visible.   I can even personalize the list and dot-walk to short description and select it as Beth.   The column displays as shown above with no value.   Not sure where to go from here.


The issue was ACLs at the "All Record" level.   I was able to get the task.short description to display for users other than Admin by disabling the following 3 * record ACLs for all tables.   How can I get this to work without disabling these 3 oob ACLs?

Placed a read ACL at the Task table level which corrected the problem.   Seems that a user with the ITIL role who can see task fields in the form and reports should be able to see fields added to list layouts also without adding this ACL.
