Write ACL not working

I've created a write ACL specific to a field on a table that is not working.  I've created and added a new role that is specific for this ACL. The field type is a reference.  What further steps should I take to ensure that this works?

Hi,

Did you verify any onload client script or UI policy is making it read-only?

Also enable debug security rules to check which ACL is blocking?

Here is a record from that table impersonating the user.  See 'Entitlement' is still greyed out.

I used debub security rules and found the ACL that was blocking by going to the field and selecting the debug icon. Thank you!

Can you confirm that the field is not made read only at dictionary level, if that is the case then even ACL wont make it editable.
