  3. Scroll down to section of '3. Grant this role to...'
  4. Click on 'Edit Granting' under Action.

  6. Find Employee Time and select the radio button of 'Restrict target population to:'.
  7. Set the target as Time Type.Classification = Absence like below.
  8. Save Changes

After above target population setting to Employee Time is done, it is no longer possible to edit Employee Time from Time Sheet Workflow Request. You will still be able to see the Employee Time from Time Sheet Workflow Request, but you will get error message like below if you attempt to navigate to its details.

ATTENTION!!!

It is NOT recommended to have field level overrides permission set to a Required field! It may lead to unexpected negative outcomes.

The employeeTime field is a Required field of Employee Time Sheet Entry object, so it is NOT recommended to have field level overrides permission setting on it at all. Instead, please use target population configuration on Employee Time object as explained above.
