Hi,

If the field is marked read only, no script will make it editable.

Only way is to uncheck 'read only' from the dictionary and control the behavior via ACL/UI policies.

IF the dictionary has read only unchecked then there can be client scripts, ui policies, data policies and ACLs that might be making it read only.

Hi Suuriya,

You can check by applying watch on that field, what makes it read-only.

Possibilities:

• UI Policy/Data Policy
• Client Script
• Dictionary
• UI Script
• ACLs

It should be anyone of them.
