List Edit in Sc_task table for RequestState field getting " security prevents writing to this field

MThomas1

Field name trying to bulk list edit = Request State.

I applied a filter to SC_Task table and able to get associated REQUEST State field . But when trying to update the field value , getting " Security prevents writing to this field"  message. Other fields are allowing to listedit on sc_task table.

 

But  I am able to list edit same field from sc_request table.

 

what could be restricting the list edit for the request state filed in sc_task table?

 

Thank you and appreciate your guidance on the request.

I have the State field from the Request in my list view.  To be clear, this is when viewing the list, right-click on the column headers and choose Configure > List Layout.  I single-clicked Request then the tree icon that appeared above the left and right arrows, then selected State, resulting in this:

With this configuration, I am able to (in my mostly OOB Zurich PDI) double-click on a State value and update it.  When attempting to update multiple records, I get this:

This is platform-wide functionality that cannot be altered.
