Hi,
I created one field "x" on alm_asset table. This field I brought in to the work order task table using dot walking of asset reference table.
Now this "asset.u_x" field is not editable expect admin. I tried with ACL of alm_asset table, still not working even I am not able to select this field on work order task table ACL to create write operation.
Can anyone suggest how to achieve it.

Hi,
This is probably because there is only one ACL that allows for write to the [alm_asset] table, and it's granted to the role "asset".
If you've created an additional field on that table, you will need to setup a table write ACL in addition to the ACL that grants rights to write to the field itself.

is this a business requirement to allow editing dot walked field by non-admins?
I don't think so.

Check with Access Analyzer if there still are some ACL issues to fix.
