On Opportunity are two Custom Fields Product__c (controlling field) and Product_Type__c (Dependent Field)

When i check the field level security on these fields, it is visible for all Profiles. I want these fields to be not visible for ll profiles. However I am unable to edit the Field level Security.

enter image description here

Also, from Set up > Profile > Object Settings > Edit > 'search the custom objects', the checkboxes next to these two fields are greyed out. I do not want to assign these two fields to the profile.

I am wondering how can i edit the Field Level Security and revoke the permissions to these fields for the profile?

    Are those fields marked as required on the object?

  • yes Mark, they were. I made them Not required on the Object, and required on Page Layout. Now I am able to edit the visibility.
