Portal entity form with lookup fields gets permission error when submitting

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 179

Hi All

 

I have a portal page that uses an entity form for entity xyz. The form contains a number of fields including two lookup fields (Supplier, Framework). When the page/form is submitted I get the message

 

 

                The form could not be submitted for the following reasons:

                You don't have the appropriate permissions.

 

 

If I remove both the lookup fields from the entity form (entity/table permissions is enabled) the data is submitted and a new xyz entity record is created (with empty Supplier and Framework fields)

 

Also if I leave both lookup fields on the form but disable entity/table permissions on the portal page the data is submitted and a new xyz entity record is created which includes the values selected in the lookups.

 

So it looks like I have an entity permission issue with the lookup fields. I've tried creating an entity permission for Framework with a Global scope with Read, Write and Create privileges and including that lookup on the form but I get the same error message. What is required to be able to create an entity record where the source of one or more of the fields is a lookup on a portal age?

 

Thanks

    I assume you have also provided web roles to the entity permissions. Either a specific role or anonymous access. I would expect it to behave like the way you described if the correct web role is not assigned.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @paulsnolan ,

     

    You need to provide Append/Append To permission to be able to use lookups.

    Spot on. I missed that append / append to had not been given.
