Did you check other ACL available at form level which might be overriding this ACL

Hi @DevYadav,

To provide context for the 'why' here... there are many ACL's in place on both the table and field level.

However, one way you could override this at a table level would be the following 2 ACL's - show below.

(Name = change_request and operation = write)

Simply uncheck the 'Admin overrides' checkbox (If you also want to ensure Admin's should not be able to edit these records) as well as updating the Condition field to the following:

Obviously adjust if a role such as Change Manager etc does require edit access, but changes to these 2 ACL's will override the others and provide what you need.

As always - test test test to ensure other scenarios are catered for,

Hi @DevYadav 

Can you check if there are any other write ACL's configured?

The ACL you configured will provide write access to all fields when state is closed for itil users, Please test for non-itil user.
