Hi,

if it's readonly at dictionary level you cannot do anything to make it editable by using ACL etc.

Steps to do

1) Don't make it readonly at dictionary level. uncheck that readonly checkbox

2) create onLoad client script/UI policy to make it readonly on form level if you wish to do so

3) create list_edit field level ACL on that field of the table and in the roles section give the role

This will work fine.

Hi @Aman Kumar

Thank you ,if you don't mind could you please help why BR wont work.

BRs are used to either validate field change, update a value on the form, update related records etc.
To restrict updation of a record/field, ACL is the way to go and not BRs
