Issue with custom drop-down field on time sheet portal when impersonating

[JenniferRah]

This is a long shot since it's custom code, but I'm hoping someone has an idea of where I can look that I haven't thought of yet. We have a custom drop-down field we have added to the time card table and the time sheet portal for Timecard Class. It looks like this and works fine. 

However, when we impersonate a user, the drop-down values don't display. The users themselves can see them. We just can't see them when impersonating. It looks like this: 

We can go to the time_card table (while impersonating) and see the values, so it's not an ACL issue. Here's what it looks like from there:

It has to be something on the time sheet portal code, but I can't find any code that seems to be returning incorrectly. Anyone have an idea of what I could check? Thanks in advance for your help!

Well, it wasn't simple, and it's been a while since I did it, but here's what I recall:

• I created the field on the time_card table.
• I had to clone the "Time Card Portal Main Container" widget and add code for my field in there.
• I had to clone the "Time Card Grid" widget and add code for my field there.
• Because I wanted my field to be required upon submission, I had to modify the TimeCardUtil and TimeCardValidator script includes.
• Added an ACL to for sys_choice.* for all authenticated users.

The specific changes will vary depending on if you add a drop-down (like I did) or some other type of field. I hope this helps.

Thanks a ton for the answer. Exactly what I am looking for. Would you mind sharing the code if you have it on hand? If not it's totally fine. Again, thank you.
