I'm using all the latest releases of Drupal 5.2, CCK, and CCK Field Permissions as of September 26.

I creates a custom content type with text fields, number fields, date fields and matrix fields. I allow anonymous users to fill out all the form fields, while there is a hidden field called 'Applicant Status'. Only admin can see the 'Application Status' field (checkboxes) and edit those checkboxes.

Once the custom content type is created, admin can see it. The problem: when admin goes in to edit that page (they are allowed to change the checkboxes of 'Application Status' field), and click submit, the number/date/matrix fields all disappear - only the text fields appear. Text boxes, text checkboxes, text select lists all appear. But any other type of widget disappears.

Any ideas?

I'm having what sounds like a related issue. I have a text select field on a node profile called "status" that only admin can view/edit. If a user edits his or her node profile (they cannot see or edit "status"), the text select field is unset (i.e., set back to null rather than what the admin had set it to). This doesn't seem to happen when admin edits the node profile, however.

try to check "edit own cck permissions" for that role in users control access... the node should be created by that user.... that worked for me.. I don't know if it works if users are not the author but are able to edit that content type...
