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.

but why you want non-admins to edit this dot walked field.
The job of dot walked field is to simply display what's present in this field on current form rather than using navigating to the reference record.
Please discuss this requirement with your customer and inform about the best practice.

if that user has write access to the record then it should work
Is that field readonly on asset via dictionary?
Did you check if the asset reference field is readonly? If yes then dot walked field will also be readonly
