How to make Assigned To editable in custom table form

[Amol Pawar]

Hi Experts,

I have a created a custom table which I extended from task table.

I'm using Assigned To field in my custom table form, but it's read only. I want to make it editable. 

I've created an ACL in my custom table table.assigned_to but still Assigned To is read only!

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Amol Pawar

Hi @Amol Pawar 

here’s the checklist for debugging the read-only behavior of the assigned_to field on your custom table:

1. Field Security Rules: Ensure there are no Field Security Rules that restrict write access.
2. ACLs: Verify the ACL for the assigned_to field is set to allow write access.
3. UI Policies/Data Policies: Check if any UI or Data Policies are causing the field to be read-only.
4. Dictionary/Field Properties: Ensure the assigned_to field in the dictionary does not have the "Read-Only" option set.
5. Business Rules: Check for any Business Rules that may be affecting the field.
6. User Roles: Verify the user has the necessary roles to edit the field.
7. Client Scripts/UI Actions: Check for any client-side scripts or UI Actions that might be setting the field as read-only.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue of the read-only Assigned To field in your custom table.

I hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue, if yes please mark my answer helpful and correct.

thank you

Hello @Amol Pawar,

To the best of my knowledge, the 'Assigned To' field is editable by default on the task table and its extended tables.

Please mark my solution as Accepted and Helpful, if it works for you in any way!

Thanks

There is likely a UI Policy or Client Script or something that is blocking that field from being editable. You'll want to look at the policies/scripts on that field, on the parent table, where Inherit is set to true.

A easy way to do this: look at UI Policies where (Inherit = true and Table=task and Execute if true CONTAINS assigned_to). Alternatively, search for the assigned_to field on the sys_ui_policy_action table to find all UI policies firing against that field.
