Custom Entity Field > Access > Default Access Level

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:46AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

I created a new entity field for vendor records.  I selected a role with Access Level = Edit under the Access subtab of the field definition record.  Default Access Level (DAL) = View.  This allows only the selected role to edit the field, while other roles can view it.

[ATTACH=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-attachmentid":429002}[/ATTACH]

The issue comes with a workflow.  I'm trying to set a value for this field.  After the WF runs, the field value is blank even though the log shows it executed.  If I change the DAL from View to Edit, the field does show a value after the WF runs again.  However, this defeats the purpose of having only one role being able to edit the field.  Has anyone else encountered this?

Howdy, Stranger!
