"Show Security Rules" for a field in a CMDB form only shows access control rules for the extended component table being viewed, not for the base table. - Known Error

"Show Security Rules" for a field in a CMDB form only shows access control rules for the extended component table being viewed, not for the base table. Description On a cmdb record form, when right-clicking on a field and selecting "Show Security Rules", this only shows ACL rules for the specific component table being viewed, not for the base table.

Steps to Reproduce

1 - Elevate roles to security_admin 2 - Go to cmdb.list 3 - Pick any component record and open its form (for example a cmdb_ci_server record) 4 - Right click on the name field and select " Show Security Rules "

Observe this just shows ACL rules for the [cmdb_ci_server] table, not for [cmdb]. In pre-Jakarta instances this used to show ACL rules for cmdb.* as well.
