Hi, adding Edit access to a specific column for All Employees role is not saving.
Use Case: for the Invoice object, All Employees have Read access only (Operation Permission). For one field ("Field X"), wish to give Edit access to All Employees. In attempting to set the Column Permission using "Permit reading and editing" for Field X, the permission can be added and applied, but on save and returning to the Invoice security settings, this column permission no longer appears.
Say there are 50 fields on Invoice, the edit access is specific to one field (the rest are all read only). We want to add this edit access as an exception (1 column setting)..rather than individually set column access for all 50 fields.
It seems the Operation Permission for the role is overriding any further column permission to add additional access rights for that Role for the specific field.
Any suggestions or insights welcome...thanks.

Hello,
Unfortunately, if the "Edit" operation permission is disabled for an object, it's not possible to configure "Edit" permissions for individual columns.
The only solution is to enable the "Edit" operation permission for the object, and then disable the "Edit" permission for each specific column that should not be accessible for editing.
Hello!
Please provide a screenshot of the permission setting for the object.
It seems that the root cause is related to record permissions.

Wow, thanks. I was hoping that was not the case, but understand the logic. So column permissions are not additive, rather provide further restrictions.
Unfortunately this would mean a lot of work for an object with 20-50-100+ fields to add an entry in column permissions for each field.
Thank you for confirming.
