Working on ACLs to provide write access for a field on 'Location' table for role 'X'.By default all fields on 'location' table for role 'X' are read only. I want to make one field on location table for role 'X' to be editable. Please help me on this.

I tried below ACLs.

->Read acl table.none added role X

->write acl table.fieldname added role X

You are missing the table level write access for the role.  From the Docs site https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/madrid-platform-administration/page/administer/contextual-securit...

"The user must first pass the table ACL rule. Since the base system includes STAR (*) table ACL rules that match every table, the user must always pass at least one table ACL rule."

So to give them write access to a field, you will want a write ACL at the table level for the specific role.  Then to restrict them from writing to the other fields, you will want a table.* write ACL that they don't pass (this should give access to the specific role(s) you want to be able to right to the rest of the fields.
