I have a custom object Consultant which has a lookup to Account. The Account lookup is made read-only in the Consultant page layout level.

As Sys Admin, I am able to see the Account lookup getting populated when a New Consultant is created from Account related list. But when logged in as a different User, I am not able to see the Account lookup getting populated and since its read-only in the Consultant page layout, no data is available for the User to enter.

The same issue doesn't happen with standard Account - Contact relationship, if Account lookup is made read-only at Contact page layout.

Let me know if anybody can help in this issue!!!

Regards,

Karthik.
