If the user submits a service request with incorrect information on service request variables then is it right for the support group to have the variable in "edit" mode to change while fulfilling the service request?
Currently there is no variable in "edit" mode. Support group demands the variable to be kept editable to update the information on request while fulfilling the ticket.

it all depends on customer requirement.
Some customers do allow agents write access.
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Prashanthi8
Technically, no — the reason is that it was the user who filled out and submitted the form. I understand there may be cases where incorrect information is entered, but allowing the form to be editable is not a recommended approach.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.

Hi @Prashanthi8 ,
Generally, we don't allow support teams/itil users to edit details submitted on request form. However, this also depends upon customer/IT teams.
If they need to update some specific details/variables such as change request no. which was created to complete additional task, then add those on catalog task form and make them editable.
If you find my response helpful, mark this as correct or helpful.
