Field getting cleared after I save the form

[Harshit Sharma3]

I have a checkbox field on a change request form. The select box is being checked based on different conditions present on the form. The client script that is checking/unchecking the select box is working correctly.

However, when I save the form, the value is getting cleared. There are no other client scripts/UI policies changing this value of this form. Also this field is present on the form only once. 

I noticed one thing though, this is only the case with users who do not have the 'write; access to this field. If an admin selects the fields on the form which satisfy the conditions of the select box being checked, and if they save the form, the value is not cleared. Any solutions?

An onChange client script will change a value on the page for sure. However, saving the value requires write access so the ACL for write access is likely the issue.

Yes that was the issue indeed, thank you!
