Probably a write ACL on those fields needed. Are you using Kingston? if yes, make sure they are not part of

I have had this issue before.

It is resolved by creating 'save_as_template' field level ACL's for those affected fields.

Hi Paul,

Can you please explain a bit more in this issue. I am facing similar issue in my instance.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

For each field that is showing as read-only:

  • Elevate security so you can modify ACLs (in dev of course)
  • For every field showing read-only in the template
    • Create a new ACL
    • Set operation to "save_as_template"
    • Set table to Change Request and field as required
    • Add role 'itil'

Note that this will allow all users to modify this field in templates but it should fix your issue
