Good afternoon. We encountered a situation where we used a User field for a new phone request. One of the clerks is a requester, and she cannot change the field values for Requester OR Employee Name field. I verified with a test user that I have created named Ken Grossman. He is also a Requester, and when he clicks these fields, he cannot change the values to anyone else. I don't see any documentation that this is expected behavior, and others using the same browser see the ability to change it, so it doesn't seem like browser settings:

Hey not a problem, glad you got it figured out!
