Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. This was a cache issue of some form. Today I started by having others test the fields with their versions of FF and Chrome. They succeeded which pointed to my system. I then tried again myself and found the original field I created last week working. The new test field I created yesterday was still not working. I removed both test fields and they're working as expected now.

Take the def file of each form and compare just the field. Maybe there is something slightly different on the field from one form to the next?

I simply created a new character field on both forms, gave them a default value, gave them 'display' for their entry modes, and changed their name/display from 'character field' to 'test field'. I added them both to their respective 'work detail' tabs in an open space for visibility. Flushed cache. In Chrome/FF, when creating a new record, the field on HPD:Help Desk has it's default value that can be highlighted/copied/pasted etc. The field on CHG:Infrastructure Change can do no such thing though it is accessible within IE. I'm still pretty green at this but that just seems stupid. Am I missing a setting? Thoughts? Thanks.

They are both similar in that they are read-only display fields. Each one has an active link that gives the field its value. The AL is working fine as the value is correct on both. The issue I'm having is browser based. Both fields work correctly in IE. However, Only the INC field works in FF and Chrome. The field is there and visible, but I'm unable to interact with it. I can't select/highlight/copy the field contents in those browsers. Any thoughts why one field works but not the other? Is there some setting that I'm missing?
