Hello,
I came up with a scenario-based question - A field is newly created on form and it gets read-only. There are no configurations done on the field in terms of ACLs, Client script, UI Policies, Dictionary overrides. What could be the probable cause? Any idea or suggestion?
-Thanks.

Hi @Sandeep Rajput ,
Thanks for the response.
I thought the same but unfortunately even this wasn't the cause. There aren't any dictionary level changes as well. The field was just created from Dictionary and soon after the creation it got read-only. Can there be any other reasons?

Can you try a new field and test once?

@Priyanka_Ghosh There could be a UI Script which is Global and already making a field with same name readonly on other table. Since the Global UI Script triggers on all the forms it could also be making your field read only.
