Form Layout: present fields which are dot-walked from another Reference field type may display as read-only, if that Reference field's dictionary is read-only.Issue You may encounter an issue where a form field is unexpectedly appearing as read-only. Searching the typical avenues, you do not find any ACL's, UI Policies, Client Scripts, etc... making the field(s) non-editable. CauseThe cause for this may be the result of the following configuration: These fields are 'child fields' of a reference field on this tableThe reference field has been set to Read Only at the dictionary levelResolutionThis is the expected behavior for this configuration. You may need to verify by: Navigate to System Definition > Dictionary.Filter to find the target/affected reference field and open the record.Confirm the 'Read Only' checkbox value.Related LinksAs an example, if you have configured the dictionary record for [sc_req_item.request] to be Read Only, the [sc_req_item] form should exhibit the following behavior: Request is read onlyRequested for is read only (This is because this field is [sc_req_item.request.requested_for] - therefore - a child field of Request)
