ACL Script Returns True but the field is still hidden

[verdakosnett]

I have a script which I know returns true but the field remains hidden. Why?

Here is the script:

[verdakosnett]

no errors. the weird part is it doesn't return from here although this variable is fully populated and contains a user role.

if (typeof current.getValue('initial_letter_reviewers') != "undefined" && current.getValue('initial_letter_reviewers')!= null)

  {

    gs.info('yes, i am here');//never see this message

  var iii, sss,lllen;

  var initial_letter_reviewers= current.getValue('initial_letter_reviewers').toString().trim().split(',');

  lllen =initial_letter_reviewers.length;

  for (iii=0; iii<lllen; iii++) {

  if (gs.hasRole('x_64719_letters.'+initial_letter_reviewers[iii].toString()))

  { gs.info('ir role exists');

  return true;

  }

but goes down to the next and even then it still hides the comment_history field.

[verdakosnett]

ok, trimming helped it go to that if statement but still the field is hidden.

Do you have any other ACLs on this field?

[verdakosnett]

For this table there are three ACL's, all other fields are visible except for comment history. Should I delete the one with the *?

[Abhinay Erra]

Nope, .* is a wild card ACL. it will take into effect when there is no matching field ACL. Can you make sure you are satisfying one of the table level ACL?
