You might encounter situations where the “Ignore User Permissions” field option checkbox doesn’t work as expected for a link field.
A workaround is to add ignore_user_permissions
as a set_query parameter in a client script/js.
frm.set_query('employee', function() {
return {
filters: {},
ignore_user_permissions: true
};
});
in my case, i can now select any employee even after applying this user permission which was previously restricting me to one value.
