Event though I am admin on PROD, I cannot execute a data update job on PROD and UAT

[Nithya Devi]

Even with admin and security admin privileges, I am currently unable to update the field(registration_status) on vm_vdr_contact table.Could you address the issue and provide access to edit the field.Also i have verified the ACL restrict to edit the field.After making it inactive,

To address this, I created a new write ACL for this field in the UAT environment to allow editing, but it still does not permit updates.

Also verified on other script like BR,client script and UI policies. No relevant script runs for restricting the field.

Could anyone suggest what is blocking to edit the field.

@Nithya Devi 

if that field is read-only at dictionary level then it won't allow update starting from Xanadu Patch 7a and Yokohama all versions

check this KB which talks the same and the only way is to remove read-only attribute from that field in dictionary

Unable to update the read only fields on incident by Data Management process. 

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
