Yes, it does.
Just tested:
Editable before creating ACL:
Read only after creating ACL:
Remember it will make field editable on RITM list as well. There is no way you make it editable on one table and not on other one.

On the list view, it's a dotwalked field. You can't dotwalk within ACLs.
Why would you want an ACL on task level for a ritm field?

Hi @anishshah ,
There is no OOB field as "Requested for" on SC Task table. What you are seeing in List View is a dot walked field from Parent table (Request Item).

Mohammad Danish

@anishshah , Please find the KB article which will help in making dot-walked field readyOnly.
When a field is dot-walked it can not be set read-only (setReadOnly) - Known Error

you can only select fields from same table and not from any reference field via dot walking.
The field you might be checking on list must be added via dot walking from Request Item->Requested for
What's your business requirement?
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
