Resolution

As per Enabling Search Field Restriction | SAP Help Portal, this scenario will happen if:

  1. This MDF is a RBP secured MDF Provisioning switch for Generic Object is enabled ("Enable RBP Target Criteria for Value Help" is enabled in provisioning)
  2. This impacted field is a picklist field, so this field belongs to non-secured MDF object (A)
  3. User who is impacted has NO permission of "Access to non-secured objects"

To resolve the issue, you will need to ensure the user who is facing the issue has "Access to non-secured objects" granted to them if the "Enable RBP Target Criteria for Value Help" settings is enabled in Provisioning --> Company Settings.
