Hi Baker Kong,
thank you very much for your quick response.
Yes, I know, it should work like this. The question is, what could cause such behaviour.
May be some sort of policy?
best regards, Ronny

I cannot edit multi line text field (plain text) in a list item. This is about SP 2013 On-Premises.
If I deploy the same Add-In to SharePoint-Online, the fields are editable.
Field-Definition:
<Field
ID="{7937B753-CAE7-48EC-B959-7535430E17E3}"
Name="ZDTDescription"
StaticName="ZDTDescription"
DisplayName="Beschreibung"
Type="Note"
RichText="FALSE"
NumLines="6"
Required="FALSE"
Group="X Demo Tool">
</Field>
The field is bound to a content type:
<FieldRef ID="{7937B753-CAE7-48EC-B959-7535430E17E3}" DisplayName="Beschreibung" Required="FALSE" Name="ZDTDescription" />
The content type is bound to a list
<List xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" Title="XX" FolderCreation="FALSE" Direction="LTR" Url="Lists/XX" BaseType="0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" EnableContentTypes="TRUE">
<MetaData>
<ContentTypes>
<ContentType ID="0x0100EB40867FFF3940909FB4ED22DE1A1EE1" Name="XX" Group="Demo Tool Content Types" Description="Create a new XX" Inherits="TRUE" Version="0">
<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID="{7937B753-CAE7-48EC-B959-7535430E17E3}" DisplayName="Beschreibung" Required="FALSE" Name="ZDTDescription" />
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
</ContentTypes>
<Fields>
<Field ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Type="Text" Name="Title" DisplayName="Model" Required="TRUE" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="Title" MaxLength="255" />
<Field ID="{7937B753-CAE7-48EC-B959-7535430E17E3}" Name="ZDTDescription" DisplayName="Beschreibung" Type="Note" NumLines="6" StaticName="ZDTDescription" RichText="FALSE" Required="FALSE" Group="X Demo Tool"></Field>
</Fields>
</MetaData>
</List>
If I create a new list item or open a list item in edit mode, the multi line field is not editable. The HTML-Markup is missing the data:
If I verify the list fields, list content type fields and site content type fields, everthing seems to be OK.
In a list view, I can see the value of multi line fields (added through ListInstance)
When I get the ShowInEditForm property of the field by Powershell, I get null.
If I then assign $true to ShowInEditForm, I still cannot edit the field.
If I determine the property again, PowerShell is returning true.
Please note, that everything is working, if I deploy this Add-In to SPO, no matter if I deploy it to a classic site or a modern site.
What am I missing?
