Error after upgrade 15 to 16: “You do not have permission to access field: Quotation.title”

Hi everyone,

After upgrading ERPNext from v15 to v16, we encountered the following error:

Permission Error
You do not have permission to access field: Quotation.title

Issue details:

  • The error appears when accessing Quotation (List View and/or opening a record).

  • This issue did not exist in v15, only after upgrading to v16.

  • User roles and permissions were not changed after the upgrade.

  • Affected users already have read/write permission for the Quotation doctype.

  • Only Administrator could see the Quotation List

What we’ve tried so far:

  • bench migrate

  • bench clear-cache

  • Checked Role Permission Manager for Quotation

Environment:

  • ERPNext: v16

  • Frappe: v16

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04

  • Browser: Firefox 147

  • Deployment: VM / Bare metal

Questions:

  • Is Quotation.title a restricted or internal field in ERPNext v16?

  • Has the permission model for Quotation changed in v16?

  • Is there a known fix or migration step to resolve this issue?

Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance :folded_hands:

We have the very same problem in most of our custom fields we added to our DocTypes. Did you find a solution for this problem?

Thank you for any hint.

It’s a bug introduce in v16.
